Research & Development sessions - Jekyll and Hyde project


Project requirements given today:



 - You are required to produce two graphic images, one as a typographic response and the other as an image response.

Response one requires that you utilise the following text only;

Dr Jekyll
Mr Hyde

Response two requires that you produce an image that represents Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Both responses have to demonstrate a transition from one to the other both in a single piece.

Demonstrate as many uses of materials and facilities as possible but mainly experiment and utilise the appropriate facilities and materials to achieve the transitions that you are trying to achieve.

You are not restricted on how many you produce.

These responses are part of your research and development portfolios, you are required to hand these in as part of your submission for your research and development module. This allows you to continue working on them for the entire duration of your final academic year. -



We were asked to use this project to explore different process and printing facilities available to us. Below are some initial notes made during the session:
