Major Research Project

This is a blog that documents the research journey by sharing my thoughts, ideas and development within the subject area of my choosing to support my major project that will be accompanied later on with a contextual report. This will be part of my MA studies in Graphic Design at the University of Portsmouth.

Screen print exploration

- March 29, 2024

I wanted to explore current Hebrew letterforms through the medium of print. One of my key practices in finding out answers is to explore through screenprint methods. I have become accustomed to this method of communication through its materiality nature and the systematic response it takes to generate imagery.

This allowed me to generate different modular letterforms using grid systems, this has been part of my ongoing research to understand letterforms from the modularity perspective. I wanted to consider different compositions to test out via screen printing, so I created the imagery first via Illustrator to see how they may look. The idea was to explore Latin and Hebrew letterforms within their alphabets. To add further context to these prints, I wanted to communicate the value of...

Current exploration: Modular type course (FVS)

- February 16, 2024

Here is the current exploration practice that I have done so far within the modular-type course. Here you will see simple geometric shapes that formulate within a grid staying within 5x5 squares. Here is my exploration for this exercise from this course. Working practice research by Jordan Jones within the modular type course from FVS. " Typography is hundreds and writing even thousands of years old. This makes it a very rich field of learning, investigation, and exploration but requires as well a clear focus on YOUR field of interest." (Lorenz,2023). From what I have learnt so far shapes inform letters when designing a font. Lorenz talks about how "y ou would never design single letters, but always letter systems that work for every letter, in every word, sentence, and text. The shape of the letter is always influenced by the shape of the other letters and how they work together" (Lorenz,2023). Whilst going through this course, I came across us...
