However, it would be hard to make the idea below as quality as i would like because the details of the brief state that you need a 'set, series or sequence of ten letterforms' which means i would be limited with outcomes.
The 'flip book' idea above gives me that leverage I need to be able to produce ten separate letterforms that also work together as a sequence in an interactive way.
This is some of my experimental work using existing letterforms. I thought that multiplying the letter then modifying its transparency would give the effect of movement, like a 'motion blur'. I think it works well, and one of the factors contributing to its success, in my opinion, would be their texture- a busy texture just gets even more complicated once multiplied. I think that when you are trying to make something 2 dimensional and static look as if it is moving, a complicated texture emphasises it because it mirrors the whole idea of movement. To get scientific about it, when particles get hot they shake violently and i think that the 'U' above depicts this.
All of these images are scanned in from my current sketchbook. The image above includes the definition of 'Shake', then its synonyms. I did this to get me thinking of the connotations of the word and general ideas around that.
