Graphics Project 15 - Alphabet type

As soon as I got the brief for this project I knew exactly what I wanted to do and I knew exactly how I would do it however I did go back and research into different ways people have used food and different objects to create typeface. I was quite surprised by the amount of different ways people had found out how to produce such letters. I was very inspired by these images I found and was thinking about changing my idea to using apples but kept to my original of using eggs. Once I had researched into the formation of letters I realised cutting eggs would be difficult as well as messy so I decided that I would have to use cookie cutters in order to produce a clean cut edge. I then went out and bought 50 eggs which I fried and then cut out into both letters, numbers and punctuation. This took two days and was not a pleasant thing to do however I am pleased with the outcome and happy with the comments I got from people viewing my work. I took these images into photoshop and cleaned up the background placing it on a chrome layer which symbolised the pan it could be fried in. I am very happy with the final piece.
