Today we had our module briefing for the Visual Skills module. Our brief is to create a typology poster which must contain 24 pieces of art on the final product, the definition of typology according to google definitions is a classification according to general type, especially in archaeology, psychology, or the social sciences. This must also be done in monochrome which means varying tones of only one colour which is not a constraint I've ever had on a project before, the images also must be vignettes which means a small illustration or portrait photograph which fades into its background without a definite border (I've learnt so many new words today). It must also be produced to A2 scale and only using analogue methods of illustration, which was really exciting when I heard this as I really enjoy just making things by hand. The title of my typology piece will be How to use a piece of rope.
As our starting activity we had to produce 100 ideas of how we could do this activity, and then either write or illustrate them quickly or both. I decided to list 50 things and then start trying to illustrate them so I wouldn't get brain block trying to do both at the same time. The ideas that I came up with are massively varied, some are realistic like using rope to tie different knots, and some are a lot more abstract such as take it to prom. Although I like both ideas, theres more growing room with the abstract ones and I could see a lot of them turning into good project ideas.
I decided for today to leave it at what I'd done in the studio and to carry on with my work at home, but for now I've come up with 50 ideas and illustrated 25 of them.
