Type Brief

My response to a brief during first year of university;
Okay, so the whole idea of the brief was we had to create an image of a person or creature using typography which had to be our own initials, in my case JTW. I quite enjoyed this brief, I like experimenting with typography and it was nice to have a brief within my comfort zone. So here's what I created;


Yes, I'm a fan of black fine liner. I think I was also going through a drawing 'peacock' phase. If you see my response to a separate brief around the same time as this one, you'd completely understand. 

My second response;


A different style than my first response, the obvious difference being I created the first image using my initials, where as this sketch I use my initials to fill in aspects. I think I prefer my second response, due to my influence being an illustrator that I've related my work to a couple of times previously. Stina Persson is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her sketches consist of watercolour, acrylic and inks, cut paper and collage and sometimes photo incorporated. I particularly liked the pose within this image and decided to recreate her sketch using my initials for this brief.
