Number 12- unfinished work

Next lesson I'll be continuing to make my remake of Neville Brody's '12'. Currently it's only just been started thus consists of only a number 11 and one silhoette therefore requres alot more work in order to complete this work. Upon finishing I'll explain what and how I did each of the steps along with a photo of the finished project...

My net

Eventually I decided on which net/ template I will be using. I drew a 12cm by 12cm  square on my piece of A3 paper, before adding several tabs. These tabs were designed by myself and will all fit together to form a back for the net.

Each of the different tabs will have images of a different childhood memory on them. For example; one will have a photo of which was taken whilst in Florida on holiday. This photo consists of: me, my mum, dad, brother, sister, granma and grandad...

Requires resources for my CD cover

In order to create my CD cover I'll need the following resources:

-Photo's of my Grandad (and other treasured family memories).
-A list of items and objects that trigger these memories-which I've already created.
-A collections of net's and/or templates that I can use to create or change the cover itself...

Nets


Yesterday we were building CD covers from a template that Mr Parry provided us with. Some were very unique and different- for example one was in the shape of a shoe. Others were fairly basic and looked like what you would expect an average CD cover to look like.

The idea of the lesson was to find out which cover would best suit our CD. In the end I decided to go for a somewhat basic CD cover. It was almost the exact same as an average CD case except for a few extra flaps; one what the actual disk slips behind and another where some additional information and/or graphics can go…

An ideal font- Beyond Wonderland

Whilst searching DaFont for insperations I found a font known as 'Beyond Wonderland'. This font is exactly what I've been loocking for as it ,to some degree, almost represtents my Grandad. As a child I remember my grandad writing a number of letters via an old quill pen- despite him owning a computer.

The text in this font is what I remember his handwriting as. Somewhat messy, yet distiguished...


Although I'm unable to upload the image of the font/text the link below will guide you to the website:

I'm now going to try to recreate my font, taking into consideration the general layout and pattern of the font linked above...
