Design in Context Project 2

There are 3 different areas to choose from for Project 2 I'm not sure yet which one to focus on. but The projects that intrigue me the most are;  'an illustrated A-Z poster of Stockport's Fair trade' and 'Blue Peter's 'Here's one I made earlier'.



Here are some influences and examples of creative alphabets to help get my imagination going;

I then tried a few ideas I had of the alphabet using collage, cutting things out of magazines and a unique letter style that I thought suited a kind of vintage look! I really liked this process and the outcomes I came up with, here are a few examples of my work;






I was really enjoying this project however the process for producing the poster seemed to be abit difficult using a rizograph machine to finalise the product. I also found that trying to limit myself to three colours was really hard too, as throughout my work theres lots of colours.

So instead of this I have decided to explore a project surrounding the tv programme 'Blue Peter'.
