'kate moss'
What do you want the people who look at your work to think / do? ponder / angry / thought / dislike? Text is implied in this photograph by open mouth / expression / speech.
When you put text and image into an image, it is important where you place it / what font you use in order to create a specific response / emotion / feeling. change font / position of text / turn image upside down or a different way. All of these things can help to create drama in an image.
Moving image and spoken word with text integrated. Size of image can be big / small. Border or no border with pictures. Contradictions / contrast / complimentary image and text.
Up until today we have just been looking at printed image and printed text.
MOVING IMAGE
WEST SIDE STORY
'closing titles'
The text is incorporated into backgrounds / walls / surfaces used in the film. The camera zooms in and out, making you believe that there is nothing there, then text appears.
NAPOLEON DYNAMITE
'opening titles'
This is a really clever way to present the opening credits / has a great deal of relevance with the subject matter and colour scheme in the rest of the film / humour.
ILLUSTRATION BA - WORKSHOP PREPARATION
We were given some information ahead of a workshop on 'typography' explaining the origins of certain aspects of type / how it has developed over time / how different areas of letters are laid out on a page. It is interesting to look at the different types of calligraphy / letter shapes used in the past.

ADDITIONAL READING
MARTIN CREED
'everything is going to be alright'
Martin Creed invades the public area with a very powerful message but it is unclear how we are supposed to interpret these words. Is this a sarcastic view of our world / country at this time? Is it supposed to invoke reassurance in the people?
