Typography Examples
these pictures are amazing they are done in such a good way and its also a completely new style that i have never seen it before so it inspires me
David Carson Typography Designer
David Carson is a typography Designer and is very well known in the world for his amazing art work. His unique style has been called illegible. Rules of design are constantly and consistently broken in Carson's work. He would let typed lines run into each other, cross gutters, or be upside-down. He would layer type and image until neither was distinguishable on the page and even continued an article on the front cover of a magazine. Carson has never believed that one must first know the rules in order to break them.
With only a single class as training, he became art director for Transworld Skateboarding. He immediately found praise and a sort of cult following; however, some advertisers were not willing to support his radical approach. Beach Culture was under the direction of Carson for three years until it ceased publication due to a lack of advertising. Under his direction, Beach Culture won over 150 awards, including "Best Overall Design". Carson is most well known for his work art directing
the magazine Ray Gun. His design ideas were incorporated completely with the magazine. The publication had no consistent typefaces or layouts; even the masthead was recreated for each issue. The result was a magazine that was strikingly fresh looking with every issue.

Investigation into Observational Drawing
Observation is perhaps one of the best forms of seeing to create art, it is the important process of seeing a real life scene or subject of interest of which you want to capture and translating that scene onto a piece of paper or canvas for painting. Observational drawing is very important if you want to learn how to see and get all of the proportions of everything you see into scale.
Capture
Three methods of Capture i will be using for the Park trip will be a Picture from my phone and a Video and then i will use Observational Drawing to Draw images i see from the Park.
We have also Made Mind maps on types of Capture that we know and what they were used for
