Task 5

Task 5:
Explore your object typographically. 

Initially my experimentations where very basic due to the use of obvious experimentations by creating shadows through layers and altering the kerning within a word to see how each letterform became deformed (see figure 10. As I developed my work further I started to apply my research to my experimentations through looking at the periodic symbols for chemicals found within filament  as well as creating words from shapes. These more abstract experimentations (see figures 2 and 3) are more successful as they have created more interesting outcomes which don't directly link to a light bulb. To further my developments I've experimented with lines using shapes such as square, hexagon and circle in order to typographically explore florescent light bulbs and filament.  This has allowed for the creation of interesting experimentations and gif's as I've looked at different ways to communicate my experimentation.  However throughout my experimentation with creating words out of shapes in particular the square and hexagon it has been quote difficult to create legible letterforms which can be seen within flicker as the 'f' looks more like a 'g' in both variations. Overall I feel these abstract experimentation are interesting and successful but more development and experimentation is needed.
