Visual language sequences.

For this session we looked at how we could create sequences using the letter 'A' in various different font styles. 
First of all we did sequences that consisted of five frames. My word for this particular one was 'expand' and when another person was asked to guess what it was they guessed incorrectly. I think this is probably because the idea could be simplified more. 


We then worked in groups to create larger sequences of twenty frames, our first one being 'rush'. We cut the letter into four or five strips so that we could place them where we wanted to make the letter look as though it was rushing from one side of the frames to the very last one. 

The second word we were given was 'skip'. When this was done everyone tried the same idea of making the letter look as though it was skipping across the page so we tried to think outside the box. (Top row of image) We decided to leave every other frame blank so that we had 'skipped' a frame. 

After doing this task I found out that the more simplistic the idea, the better it is and also that the type of typography chosen for each sequence can have an effect on its meaning.
