YSP- 3 typographic ideas based on Tony Cragg

My 1st final design has stemmed from Tony Cragg's sculpture, in YSP, called outspan. As his sculptures texture is similar to that of icing, the development to this piece was found. Our group experimented with creating type out of yellow icing to try and develop the texture of Cragg's piece. As our idea developed, we decided to add cake into the idea, with cutting out simple shapes to create 'ABC' with. From this, I have extracted the 5 cake shapes to create into the alphabet. 

For my 2nd design, the inspiration has come from Craggs sculpture 'caught dreaming'. I have incorporated the aspect of texture and loose curves in order to create my alphabet from. A drawing tablet was used in order to keep Cragg's way of working, which is starting off by sketching in a loose form. Also, the looser curves were formed more effectively because of using the tablet. The yellow background was chosen, to highlight Cragg's use of the primary colours in some of his sculpture, if he uses bright colours at all. 

For the 3rd design, it expanded from the experimentation of the icing. From the writing of the alphabet with icing, it was apparent that because of the thickness, the alphabet could be seen with the grease marks behind. The grease marks, created a different version of the alphabet, becoming more loose, therefor adhering to Cragg's style of 'loose form' using his varied materials.
