Stitching Typography - Let's get this craft started!



Developing typography for a craft magazine which I am creating. The magazine is aimed at young adults, I am currently working with the name 'Let's get this craft started!'. The magazine will be mostly 'how to' project based but also have themes of activities to do such as what to listen to, what to watch and what to snack on while doing the projects. I want to make the typography for the magazine title fun and appealing to the young audience. I have stitched into fabric and then scanned these images into Photoshop. 
This second experiment is more visually interesting and needs further development to make it a stronger image. I combined the front and back of the stitching to create this typography. I like the rough, handmade feel of the loose threads left at the back of the stitching. My plan is to develop different typography with craft and textiles materials so that each issue will have a title made out of different materials. Further development of the exclamation mark at the end of the title will also take place. I want to make this a focus so that the magazine can be recognised by this without the words.

Hanging rose paper model


Paper models to explore the form of a hanging rose which will be placed in the middle of my Rob Ryan exhibition 'Raining Roses'. The textural qualities in this piece will contrast well with plain forms which will include text information.

'Converse: Converge' fabric zine









My final zine for my CAD project. 'Converse: Converge' has been created by transferring my in design pages onto fabric transfer paper and then using a heat press to transfer the image onto this cotton fabric. The zine consists of 12 pages about Converse shoes including the history of manufacture, adverts, competitions and other articles. The fabric gives the zine a much more tactile feel than just simply printing it onto good quality paper. As Converse are often 'rough around the edges' and well worn I have tried to transfer this into my zine; leaving slightly frayed fabric around the edges and giving it a definite handmade feel.
