Today I experimented screen-printing my illustrations onto wood-free paper, which created a more friendly,tactile quality for the brand.

Just had our end of term presentations, which went well.....but alot more work to be done!
The ISTD Type Factory project is progressing. The concept behind the identity is about encouraging the young and old, those interested in design and those that know nothing about typography. The identity provokes a tactile environment where visitors are encouraged to look closer, interact and play with type. The logo is based upon taking the "T" and "F" from a typeface and creating a pattern. This standard pattern then changes to detailed, interesting shapes as the typeface changes encouraging you to look at type differently. I am currently developing these into learning objects-like those you first played with as a child as a way of learning the new language of typography.
