Flare is for a worldwide target audience. Inviting local personel to design with politcally driven typefaces, routed within their own contexts.

FLARE POSTERS

Posters shown in advertised form

Posters to advertise for FLARE’s fictional typeface creation. Here is the specifically Liverpool one, as FLARE is worldwide there is a range of different locations.

Made using the base layers of the homemade text I had made I added these anchor points to show how flare would refine the letters made by the community. Then we created the posters using this base, with the FLARE type. Also using some texture with the FLARE colours. A collaboration of the groups’ work together.

SAY WHAT ISN’T ON THE NEWS, FLARE LOGO
Looped short video
Decided logo and colour variations

Made to advertise the FLARE type foundry. What is used on the identity website that can be viisted using the link further up. Expressing the message that allows people to speak their mind with their own made typefaces.

I made this video by warping text around this found TV image, with the ‘FLARE’ logo the group collectively refined. Logo variations are shown on the right in colour.

KENSINGTON TYPEFACE

Sketchbook, Spiral Bound
Representing typeface

This sketchbook is made to show off how a typeface the community will make, can be used. Or give ideas and inspiration of creation. This would then be downloadable for free on our website, although it is fictional.

Being inspired by the graffiti mainly, during a walk I photographed all different expressions of letters found in the outside world.
Gathered enough to make the whole alphabet. I Then pieced them together and created a spiral bound booklet. Photographed by me.

WORKSHOP
Photographs of a typeface workshop

During presentation, a segment we encorporated was doing a short workshop of creating a few letters. This was to introduce the idea of how a full workshop would be produced.

This workshop consisted of; The person choosing 3 letters, (in our actual exploration you would do the whole alphabet), Then using a feeling to motivate your creations. Whether it was a positive or negative feeling. Both experiments here were positive, mentioned as a ‘sunny’ feeling. We also organised together a collection of materials for people to choose what to make their letterforms with.
