It all went a bit pete tong....but i like pete tong

So quite near to the end of the year (well 3days away from the deadline) i finally get some crazy plastic paper called grafix shrink film, with this you print/draw or cut whatever you want on it and then bake it and it shrinks into a smaller thicker plastic version, so i tried this with my frames from the 100 project (see earlier post) and unfortunately it didn't work, too hot i think, needs to be on a lower heat setting for a longer time.

BUT i quite like these crazy deformed type frames, i especially like the warped K, i can't really use these for finals my project but i'm still going to put them in.
it's a different way of looking at type as you normally see it in a very strict and regimented form.

new work....eventually




here are a few pieces from my ISTD 100 project which i'm on at the minute, basically it's typography based and the theme is 100. i'm working on a 'type kit' hence the bottom image looking like an airfix kit. the layout is based on old typesetting drawers used in the days of printing presses, these drawers contained all the characters to be hand put into the press, i had to adapt them to add some more sections for the 100 bit (shown are 2 0f 3 pages)
