This is my piece of work in answer to the excuses brief. We had to think of some excuses as to why we didn't do our homework and then creatively express the excuse typographically. Here, I expressed my 'My work fell in the fire' excuse by cutting out the phrase by the indivudal letters so that I could set them alight. I wanted to burn them so that they were still legible, but only just. I used Franklin Gothic Heavy typeface because I wanted a solid letter form that would be easy to cut out and also to be easily read. I then put my burnt letters back together to make the phrase and took a photo of this. I used photoshop to add some flames that help express the excuse and it adds small flecks of colour. I am happy with my finished result, although I had another idea in mind that I think will work even better. I will artwork my new idea and add this to my blog at a later date.
