Week 2

After brainstorming some of the knowledge I already have of the area, I looked at some local media sources, and also had the chance to get out and about with my camera to look for inspiration.

Typographic Fundamentals

After an introductory lecture and group discussion, I have recieved the brief for the first Typographic Fundamentals module, titled:

Where we are- Discovering Wolverhampton and the Black Country

History, People, Places

I have been instructed to keep a weekly Blog archiving my progress on the course; where I will document images and details of research, design processes, and inspirations that contribute towards projects.

For this project, the brief is to create a "zine" for "freshers" and first-time visitors to Wolverhampton. I'm required to hand in a double-page spread consisting of at least 250 words (that I have written,) on my chosen subject matter. It must be black and white to allow for photocopy production, and should fit into two A4 pages.

This week, I will start collecting research, and hopefully come up with an idea of what topic of local interest I'd like to base my "zine" on.
