My Exam was based on Identity and dyslexia because i wanted it to be a reflection of a personal aspect of mine relating back to the brief of exploration and discovery making each piece more personal to me. i chose to make a zine and a poster for my final outcome and i think they worked really well. i did allot of research into what a zine is because i was unsure at first what they actually was. the whole aspect of a zine is to be able to pick it up flick through it and throw it away. i think my final outcome follows this guideline perfectly because you could pick it up flick through and chuck it away and still have learnt something about dyslexia in the short time spent browsing it. i chose to have no grammar featured during my piece because dyslexic people struggle with that area and aspect of the english language, i thought about if it would work over and over again and decided to follow it knowing that it would. this is a new working style for me because normally i work on the basis of if i like it its good but with this i took more time to experiment asking others what they thought of my work and if they thought it worked well, the Artist i chose took me a lot of time to pick because i wanted to find artist’s who use typography but in a more personal sense rather then just selecting a default text and doing the whole piece in that style.when making my zine i also took into consideration the composition of the piece as a whole so the pages flowed into each other perfectly so i went with the basis of a front page information some more information then some illustrations and the crucial back page i chose to make the same as the front page so you could pick it up from any side and it would still make sense and follow the rules of a zine and also relates back to dyslexia. the pictures i took during this project are all very strong and are of high quality this was key for my project to work because without them my work would be lacking the essential detail needed. my project as a whole i felt conveyed the message i wanted to perfectly and if i did it again i would not change what i did but possibly i would add more pages to the zine making it longer by adding more illustrations.

This is my personal response to Alan Kitching’s typography piece the black contrasts well with the white splats adding depth to the piece, if i did the piece again i would have made the background more black and possibly experimented more with the way the text looked
This is my poster i did during my exam it follows conversations i recorded myself, it show’s how people from different backgrounds speak using the everyday language of english, this piece shows that everyone has there own version of the english language, and the people they talk to can clearly understand them even though most people would think that they are not speaking english, the words placed in a hand makes it more unique and contrast’s with the conversation because everyones hands are different and so are peoples grasp of the english language, using no colour adds depth to the piece and makes you question what the focal point of the piece is,
if i did this again i would of added colour to see what it would have looked like and possibly added something to the background to give it more of a texture./layer feel

This my personal response to Martin O’Neill’s typography caravan piece i think it worked really well as the typeface is clear to understand and could contrast well with anytype of background, colour or image i would like to use this typeface throughout my exam to make it more personal as my subject is dyslexia
