Image//Type as Image//Brainstorming.



Brainstorm sheets and ideas (which are written in my sketchbook, which will be handed in alongside my final outcomes at the end of the module) for the idea generation and design development for the three designs within the type as image brief. From each of the brainstorm sheets I have written down design ideas, along with the research I now have to carry out to inspire more design development, as well as visually backing my concepts:
