I am so pleased with how this turned out, I particularly love how the sponge created a distressed effect on the circular modules of my alphabet. I feel like its simplistic yet refined.
The next stage is to start creating my poster design.

When briefed with the task of creating my own modular typography, I was eager to get started, however, I’ve found it way more difficult than I had anticipated. Some letters have been easy to create and others downright hideous - A & C were particularly tricky. Its been a real stretch to continually find inventive ways to present each letter but I have found that with each letter my confidence has grown.
I began to loose momentum with this task but I was able to identify which shapes I wanted to develop further. When I reviewed all of my letter ideas, I really liked the ones developed with triangles.
At this point I decided I would like to develop this idea further, focusing predominantly on triangles.
After watching a YES! Speaker Series event with Matt Willey, I was totally inspired by his work, in particular his use of dots. Feeling like my first experiments with graffiti style type weren't working in the way I had hoped, I decided to play with dots.
I decided that I really wanted a circle to be the predominant shape within my modular alphabet but rather than a solid colour, I wanted to create texture in some way and retain the grunge effect.
Having purchased some sponge printing shapes, I started building my letters using acrylic paint. I knew that I wanted a contrast of a textured shape and a more precise block shape. I have to admit, I was really pleased with how this turned out and I decided fairly early on that this would be the basis of my final modular alphabet.
The image above shows the first draft of my alphabet, and at this point I felt I needed to update some of the letters - C, E, F, K, T, & X.
The next stage was to create my full alphabet with re-worked letters, including numbers 0-9.
