Analogue Communique 3D

The objective of the brief for this term's physical studio process & production sessions is to create three dimensional typography to communicate a message. We are expected to be creative and think about how the meaning of the message informs the content and structure our creation. The output is to be physical and we are to record the build of our work and document all stages of our design process. 

For this first session the focus was on idea generation, and we had to create at least two ideas/possible solutions. 

To help with my ideas I created two mood boards of visual references:




From gaining inspiration from the visual references I acquired I then started to think about what word I would use for my creation, bearing in mind the materials I could use for the word, and how this would communicate a message. 

These are some of the ideas I had:

* Sharp made out of pencil sharpener shavings/ pencil shavings covering 3d letters made from cardboard
* Create made out of various tools for creating a piece of work
* Healthy made out of fruit/vegetables/food
* Sweet made out of confectionery/sugar
* Strike made out of matches
* Vintage made out of vintage ephemera 
* Get a grip/gripped/gripping made out of hair grips
* Explore made out constructed map paper
* Bitter made out of lemons/ lemon peel
* Stressed made out of thread/cotton placed in a chaotic fashion
* Recycle made out of recyclable materials
* Make made from tools used to make something
* Crafty made out of crafts supplies
* Grow made from flowers/plants

From these ideas I tried to think what word/message would be best and found it quite difficult to decide what was a good idea and what was not so good. Before the next session I will have tried out at least 2 of these ideas/ any better ideas I think of.
