Types of Bread - Wednesday 28th February

This workshop was about experimenting with different media in order to create type. The first part of the session was just experimenting on one letter with ways of creating letters. Some experimentations will be shown below.

This was my first idea and it is a little rugged on the edges purely because it was made from a full piece of bread but the only way of cutting it out was by eating it. This idea did not get taken further just because of the amount of time it took to do one so to do a full alphabet would involve eating a lot of bread.

This design is made up of lots of pieces of bread which I ripped up and then press back together in order to make a cube. I then drew on the top with a pencil but pressed down so that it indented into the bread.

This was the idea that inspired the full alphabet, however due to the fact it needs the crust means that we had to modify the method in order to be able to make the full alphabet. I made this by using a knife and scratching the top surface off of the crust to create a contrast between the two textures. However for the final we just used the crusts of normal pieces of bread and then ripped them to form letters that contrasted with the white centre of the bread.
