IT IS VITAL YOU HAVE AT LEAST 15 STRONG VARIED IMAGES TO WORK FROM TO MAKE YOUR LEAFLET. There will a bit of time to add to your images produced so far but you are strongly advised to make sure you have completed everything to date well.
Look up https://handmadefont.com/ and pick 3 fonts that are expressive and inventive.



Show examples of inventive font within a moodboard and annotate why you are drawn to these.  Use these as inspiration to produce your own expressive messaging using found materials, objects at home i.e. the word death could be produced with soil, bones, twigs etc.
E.g. The word teenager could be made up from make up, clothes, graffiti, headphones, music, food etc.
Produce 3 expressive messages using varying materials and found objects. Photograph these and edit for printing in your sketchbooks.
