An.E.ter-nal.Flame

When I started my typography course I thought it would be more about creating typefaces, and less about representing avant-garde poetry with shapes.  And while I did really enjoy last Friday's class, a part of me wants to create letters!

And so I will.

And this is tonight's offering - inspired by the flickering candle that was keeping me company while I listened to some 'This American Life' podcasts.  I used blu-tak on the side of the glass candle jars (empty creme caramel pots) to create letters in reverse and then took photos.  I stitched the words together in photoshop.  The stitching is a bit sloppy, but I did it quickly just to get an idea.

 

 

Thanks to The Bangles for providing the soundtrack to this project, that played on loop in my head.
