The task is to create a letter which is to be wall mounted. The letter can be upper or lower case. The letter we have been given is ‘A’ at 150mm high. The word must be based on termonoligies related to the unit. ‘A’ is the first letter and vowel in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It is similar to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The upper-case version consists of two more or less vertical lines, joined at the top, and crossed in their middle by a horizontal bar.
The idea is to communicate a word using just the first letter.
