ammendments to my alphabet soup project.

From feedback recieved from my group crit on Friday, it was clear to me that serious ammendments were required within my work to make my alphabet soup typographic series more visually obvious to the particular audience.

From the feedback given, people seemed to quite like the concept, though, as I now understand, the visual output was not entirely obvious without explaination. Therefore, I have decided to create a few design ideas and quick design sketch-ups in order to perhaps develop my work before the module hand-in date.

I decided to develop one of the ideas I had constructued in my original set- the hydrogen atomic structure.

I thought that this could create a good series, as each letter would still be unique, however, still consistent in style.

I decided to pick letters that could be represented as singular letterforms that are featured in the periodic table (following the science-inspired route!), the thirteen singular letters featured are:

B- Boron (atomic number: 5)

C- Carbon (atomic number: 6)

F- Fluroine (atomic number: 9)

H- Hydrogen (atomic number: 1- already shown example)

I- Iodine (atomic number: 53)

N- Nitrogen (atomic number: 7)

O- Oygen (atomic number: 8)

P- Phosphours (atomic number: 15)

S- Sulfur (atomic number: 16)

U- Uranium (atomic number: 92)

V- Vanadium (atomic number: 23)

W- Tungsten (atomic number: 74)

Y- Yttrium (atomic number: 39)

I decided to draw quick sketches of how I would represent the letters by drawing them, as if they were the atomic structure of the element, with the nucleus dot in the centre, surrounding by the number of protons distributed as they would be in a standard atomic structure.

I certainly feel that this is a stronger concept and development than my previous alphabet soup series, but, in reflection to the comments aforementioned by my tutor and crit group, I am not entirely sure that it will meet the requirements of the module brief, which is, of course, so vital to complete.

Therefore, I will try and discuss my developments with my tutor tomorrow, before I go onto to develop my ideas any more, or if the series above is accepted as strong enough, to progress my development with these in an aesthetically professional standard.
