Icodesign

Tuesday was our first meeting with Steve Lloyd and Vivek Bhatia from Icodesign to discuss our new Term 02 project brief. The simplified version of the brief is basically to create a book with content from social media on 16/02/11, using only typography. Steve and Vivek first explained their working process by showing us examples of their work, and then went on to explain and take questions about the brief, which got me feeling really inspired. As a method to help us understand what we were supposed to be doing with our content from the social media, we were given an example from one single twitter post:

'Space in typography is like time in music.'

We were split into groups of three, given photocopy credit and half an hour to create a typographic poster from this quote.

I'm now very excited for the next session with Steve and Vivek. By then we should have chosen and collected content on the subject chosen for this projects work, and thought about possible ideas and layouts for the book. Looks like I'm going to be busy over the weekend!
