hand rendered type - 30/09/14

After today I've learnt to an extent that choosing a small area of type to render is in practice a lot easier and simpler than it seems. After the first drawing it became much easier to then zoom in on each object and bring the type to scale. I also found it challenging using pastels, especially with the thinness of the lines within type of numbers, but I was pleased with the outcome. Improvements could stem from sizing, as I could have scaled up the type even bigger, however I am fairly pleased that the size of them is big enough.

An Israeli Graphic designer, Noma Bar's work has been displayed for outlets like the BBC and the Observer. I've previously looked at Avinoam Noma Bar's work whilst studying at A-level and since have been significantly drawn to his use of colours and bold, almost empty blocks of shape. His work is very precise and leaves little to be imagined and I particularly like the use of everyday and specific objects used to highlight a significant part of the person/object in focus. Every piece is similiar to the next and that's something I don't think i've ever seen before and with his use of distinct and smooth blocks of colour I think it makes his work very intriguing.
