TYPE AND SOUND Sophie Wang Lin 013GD408 GDMM Studio 1 Lecturer: Sarah Stutz Spring 2010
RATIONALE With my project, I find lot of sounds, take brainstorming, research some relevant pictures. Than I chose four different sounds and draw some sketch that everything I can imagine. There are fireworks extravaganza sound, rain sound, spray sound and mix drinks sound. I will use these sounds to create different fonts. In my project, I use typeface like Pac Font and Distortia. Because Pac Font is bold typeface, it makes me express the moment of fireworks extravaganza. Distortia is makes the raindrops natural. It let me know how to better express the small part of our life. How to combine sound and fonts. I reference some images for that sounds. When I saw these images, I can imagine these sounds. I want to show the fireworks extravaganza moment, when the raindrops dripping, a big spray come and mixing different drinks. Although these moments are short and will be forget, but also the best expression of these sounds. So I focus on this to create the image illustration. You can imagine the different fireworks bloom in the night. The waves constantly washed ashore. Unique blend of juice cup and Funky rain drops on the windowsill. In fireworks sound, I use many special brush in Photoshop and Pac Font typeface. In rain sound, I learned a new Layer Style, it is very useful to express the effect of raindrops. The shape of the waves gave me the inspiration to create this new work. And I use two different colors to show the effect of mixed drinks. The paint can outstanding food solid. I spend lot of time to think about how to make the spray solid and use the same forms, but each letter has its own character. My project will be from wide: 20CMĂ— high: 20CM book, chose this size because it is enough to show and easy to carry. Cover will be used: Color: C=37 M=0 Y=92 K=0.Typeface: Agit Prop 30 point, the font color: C=100 M=90 Y=10 K=0. Page will be used: Color: C=37 M=0 Y=92 K=0, C=100 M=90 Y=10 K=0, C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100. Typeface: Brie Light 14 Point, 9 Point, Font color: C=100 M=90 Y=10 K=0, C=37 M=0 Y=92 K=0, C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0. Title: Typeface: Brie Light 24 Point, the font color: C=100 M=90 Y=10 K=0, C=37 M=0 Y=92 K=0. Page Margin: 5 mm. The blue and green color It means natural. Like my sounds do not need any instrument to play.

Fireworks, in the beautiful bloom time, already declining. Like most of the broken glass. A blossoming fireworks extravaganza, dazzling and attractive, finally disappeared. It is like a pen flying on a huge canvas add the beautiful colors, wanton smear. Long suppressed feelings of the moment dripping in fireworks to make the release.
The power of the sea is always infinite, human beings can not lose the sea. It coutains the mysterious unknown forces and our new life. Some times soft, but could conquer of all things. Also can destroy everythings. People can not without the sea. The sea has got the man all conquer power. I painted all fonts, using scanner and software, Change it layout and effect.
Make two different things together. Like the coffee and milk. Use straw or spoon stirring shake a cup of water, ice and beverages. Mixing coffee and bubble.
Rain drops from the clouds to land, land and orean surface evaporation of water into steam, steam up to a certain height into a small water droplets freeze, they froul a cloud of small water droplets, which in the clouds collied into large water alroplets. When the air can not bear a large weight, it will falling down from the clouds to rain. Rain causes a wide range, its performance is also distinctice shape, with drizzle, rainstorm and showery rain.
This project was develpoed during GDMM Studio 1 module, On April 2010, Using PacFont, Distortia and Brid Light.
