16th July 2013: Food Typography Lesson

The A2 Graphics lesson on July 16th 2013 with Mr. Cousland was based around food typography. Our first task was to find images on Pinterest of food typography designs and re-pin them onto our Graphics A2 personal study board. Afterwards, we discussed the designs that we found and gave feedback on what we liked about them. I found this task interesting as the different designs were very fascinating and inspiring.

Our second task was to find four pictures of four of our favourite foods on Google images. We printed these images full size on an A4 size piece of paper. We had to write on the photos, trying to find how we could make typography in the shape of the food that we had chosen. For example, I chose stuffed pasta, fish and chips, roast potatoes and strawberries. I tried to design typography around the stuffed paste to create the word ‘’stuffed pasta’’, which was a very challenging but engaging task.

Our third task was to create our own piece of food typography design. My piece of work was a strawberry, with the words ‘Red & Sweet’ written inside of it.

I think that this lesson was captivating for all students as it was slightly different to what we usually do (normal typography designs) and it was fascinating to see how anything can be inspired for typography art.
