Prototypes!

Over Easter I made a prototype of my letter form 'F'. I used the idea of the bar chart and thought that lengths of timber cut at different angles would be the right way to go to achieve this.


I was happy with my prototype but after a group crit on Monday with Mary. I realized that I still had a lot of work to do with my idea. It was suggested that I use dark, depressing colours for the bar chart rather then your typical bright happy colours. It was also said that I should roughen up the surface of the timber to get the effect that it was worn away and broken down.














On Tuesday I spoke to Patricia and she suggested that I maybe try make another prototype from one of my original thumbnails.

I made this F from timber lengths too. The concept for this was that the F is unfinished due to the construction industry running out of financial support from banks, government, etc. So like many building sites around the country, it's left unfinished and half constructed.






Today I decided that the bar chart F has more of an impact of getting the word 'finance' across and is more obvious what it represents rather than the unfinished F.
