my own crop


In this crop I wanted to make a different looking image that draws your attention using one of my own photographs of a motorcycle I simply cut the image into two half’s increasing size of the top half and cropping away the background of it.

I think that the image is very striking and draws your attention.

The finish of the crop could be better I feel.

I think the two sizes used gives the image a different perspective.

Typography

Here is my name

I decided to play around with upper and lowercases within my name to see how it can make my name more interesting. I decided to use my middle name in a much smaller size because its something that not everyone know and by doing so would attract your eye as well as keeping it quite to an degree.

I decided to focus on the stem of the letter a in lower case.


I wanted to see how this part of the a compares in different fonts so focused on that part of the a tracing it then on the same piece of paper overlaid the a’s seeing how they compare.

This could be taken further and would be improved if I used a grater variety of a’s and maybe keeping it to serifs and san serifs to see how that would compare.

I think that it’s a interesting part of the a which comes in a variety of different shapes.

I don’t like that as it is now its hard to truly compare this part properly.
