Something There

This was a task from class today - render the words from Samuel Beckett's poem 'Something There' using only forms, shapes, positive and negative space. We had to create 14 pages and the idea is that eventually this will be developed into our own type face. Not sure how - and the whole task was a bit obscure. But interesting! These are some of the panels I have created - using paper cutting, collage and finally colouring in photoshop.











This is the poem by Samuel Beckett - to give you an idea what I was working with:



"Something There"

something there

where

out there

out where

outside

what

the head what else
 

something there somewhere outside
 

the head

at the faint sound so brief

it is gone and the whole globe

not yet bare

the eye

opens wide

wide

nothing more

shutters it again

so the odd time

out there

somewhere out there

like as if

as if

something

not life

necessarily
