OUGD404 | STUDIO BRIEF 1 | ANAMORPHIC TYPOGRAPHY

In our session with Amber today we were asked to bring in lots of cardboard, and to design an anamorphic letter using depth of field. There had to be no less than four layers to our letter, and we needed a 'view finder' to look through in order to see the letter in it's rightful placement.

We were in 3 groups, and our group decided to do a capital 'A' and use paint to accentuate the depth of the letter. We also decided to add serifs. 

As you can see this was our starting plan.

We cut out each individual piece of our letter using the cardboard, and used red paint for the Cross bar at the back. Then we made each piece gradually lighter using white paint.

During construction, and also a snap of our 'window.'

And here was the result. I especially liked the use of colour to add to the depth of field. You could really see how effective it was even from the back of the studio. It was a really hands on task but it proved to be quite fun to see our letterform take shape as the session went on.

As for the other groups, here are some photos of their letters:
