Over Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I just finished putting together my primary research, taking photographs and making letters of the alphabet. I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out, I was inspired by the photograph of the rusty lock type thing I used for D to go with mechanical things and I looked out for things like that because I wanted to have a few of the same kind of letters to be able to use in my final designs, I don't know if this is what I should be doing but I think it will help me further on in this project. Looking over my completed alphabet I think a lot of it is along the same lines, but in a good way. Some of this was conscious but some of it was subconscious - I think by deciding on a colour palette at the start of the project I noticed letters/things that looked like letters in that colour palette. I don't know if this is a good thing or not - maybe I was ignoring things that could have been really useful for my development or final work.
I also got my secondary research done - finding examples of text being used in pattern, I looked in typography books in the library and photocopied the ones I liked. I have a group meeting tomorrow, then I will find out if I'm going in the right direction or not.
