Initial Ideas, Book Works

'A's within scaffolding.'

This idea shows the construction of an 'a' using scaffolding.  The reason I chose scaffolding to begin with is because the letterform 'a' (from what I have seen) is always present.

So this basically shows an image of an a.  Once they begin turning the pages they see the anatomy of the 'a' using the existing image cut-up.

I'm not sure this idea of construction is working.  It is interactive, but not visually engaging enough.  I think that a more simplistic look would be successful in appealing to a wider audience. 

-not interesting enough.

So rather than focusing on the letterform 'A', I have decided to check out words of interest that begin with 'a'.

I found this website.  It is fairly informative.
