Here are some examples of images of what people have done with the idea of man walking on the moon.  It was a huge amazing thing at the time which has led people to believe and have hope in future space exploration. I just pulled these off to see what people still thought of it at the time.

Here is another link i stumbled across whilst researching for my type project. It was inspiring to see how differently type could be produced or presented. Especially out of objects.

This is a link to a kerning test i did. I got 86%, it was quite helpful and good to see where i would instinctively put the letters. This helped for when i came to doing my piece of work both hand drawn and on the computer my part 2 of the flux project.

Here is the proper link to the comedy carpet website. I was really interested by this. It's a huge piece of art that was well thought out and put together. Reckon i'll have to visit this soon!

Some type work

Above is the mock-up piece of what i'm going to do as a more final piece. I am going to develop this further by using illustrator, considering composition, colour, size of text and spacing around the text.

Drawing it by hand really helped to show a rough layout and get a sense of size between the different parts of information going onto the poster. 

Here was another idea i had. I don't think it works as well though.. Even though the point is that the information is meant to be smaller and less important than the main quote, it still has the importance of putting it into context. It was difficult to then read the writing properly once written inside the letters as it was so small and words ran across letters awkwardly and then onto separate letters.

This is just some layouts i did in my sketchpad using the detail paper. It was interesting as it also helps your kerning skills by doing this exercise. It also gets you to think about the words and how they could perhaps be personified to look like movement or look like the word they are.

I quite like this layout just because its a bit different however i don't think it particularly shows too much to do with the quote and what its saying therefore i don't think it would work for my developed piece.

Here is some work i have done working up to my final part of the project. I have tried to explore the quote, change size, composition and spacing to make different layouts. I also gathered masses of information of events that happened in 1969 which was the year the quote originates from. Here are some of the examples...

Professional Studies

I have researched a variety of jobs for my portfolio project.  I have mainly been researching into general graphic design jobs that specialise in typography or are interested in you having a brilliant knowledge of typography. I have chosen 4 projects to incorporate into my portfolio. The four that i enjoyed doing and felt that I had done well on and that showed my skills.

Here are the links i used for my job search :-
