For my summer project, type in context, I focused on typography from signage throughout Barcelona and Madrid.
The theme of my work would be how the typography translates from a tourists point of view. I looked specifically at how the type represented the establishment and whether it successfully represented the business. I looked at both Spanish and English signs commenting on how me and other tourists may perceive it but also looking at standard elements of type such as stroke width and whether it was serif or sans serif.
Also, throughout the summer I took the opportunity to reflect on my personal practice and sought out things that would inspire me to create my own personal work outside of uni work, this continues to be something i'm working on.
I also visited a few art exhibitions/museums to further broaden my knowledge and ideas regarding art. Specifically I visited the Reina Sofia which had a lot of zines made in the 60's/70's which inspired possibilities for perhaps my own zine this year.
