'The action of repeating something over and over is called repetition. This is
true for any item that needs to be remembered or needs to make an impact
on someone. Our minds learn through the repetition of thoughts, ideas, and
visual clues, which is what makes the technique of repetition a valuable
communication tool. As well as design elements such as using typography
that is uniform in size, alignment, and weight rules of repetition we will also be
looking at repetition of theme, viewpoint and of form.
Inspiration will be taken from artists such as Berndt and Hille Becher, Warhol,
Muybridge, Banksy and more...
In groups we will explore Repetition/Interruption using the following media
01. Using the word ‘London’ as a piece of typography either on the lap top or
printed out.
02. A Camera
03. A pencil/crayon.
0.4 A sheet or sheets of coloured paper.'
This was quite an enjoyable, relaxed session, which also had a very open brief so the results produced from this workshop could be extremely varied. Here are a couple of ideas I created using the word 'London' repeatedly.
And a few photos I took around Elephant and Castle featuring repetition...
