Beauty in the Ordinary Boards

Leeds Public Art Proposal

Me and Patrick finished our proposal for the Leeds City Council public art publication. I'm pretty happy with the result but I think their is some stiff competition. We had to submit 2 double page spreads (including a flow chart) and a front cover, we decided to submit an extra dps just to show how they would work with a greater or lesser quantity of text.

Leeds Public Art Flow Chart

We wanted to continue the theme of photographic type and graphics in the environment for the flow chart. Here are some of the images taken.

The type is going to be overlaid onto the balloons to make the flow chart.

Leeds Public Art Photos

Patrick and I have been working on our proposal for the Leeds City Council public art publication. We decided to place typography outdoor, natural, scenic situations for the front cover. We felt this was appropriate because the publication uses a lot of photos from a recent public art initiative.

Here are some of the results:

Beauty in the Ordinary Test Shots

Our fist attempt at placing typography in the environment and photographing it wasn't so successful. We used the vinyl cutter to cut out the letters. which was good although we didn't realise how much harder to cut through a layer of ink makes the vinyl and we had to try it several times. The red colour we had chosen for the type photographed really badly and almost glows in the image, making it unpleasant to look at and difficult to read. We also agreed that a stone floor wasn't the best background to our image and that it should be something more natural. I am confident our next attempt will be a lot better.
