The aim of this task was to help with the development of ideas for studio brief 02. In giving our chosen adjective and various synonyms to help with it's description, another class member was asked to create line drawings that communicate how they would describe that chosen adjective. This then went on to help form characteristics of letterforms. Another class member was asked to draw as many representations of the letter A in five minutes as possible, again which communicate the chosen adjective, using the previous task to help.
This task was a valuable source of inspiration as it gave me ideas that I hadn't yet considered at the time, such as the use of negative space within and around letterforms to create small symbolic structures, and bending certain strokes and the crossbar in particular letterforms in relation to the idea of flimsiness. The task also allowed me to consider looking more closely at the synonyms of the word 'flimsy' as this word is quite generic and related words would be of more use in determining unique characteristics of letterforms and of the typeface as a whole.
