ALPHASEMBLE PROJECT TASKS SO FAR

PhotoShop Letter Overlays (with inverted sections)

So you should have completed :

  • At least 2 really effective full page linear compositions based on your letterforms - these shouldn't include tone or colour so they can be photocopied and worked into with other media.
  • At least 2 or more carefully built up A3 tonal/pattern/graphic mark based compositions developed from your linear work - use pencil, biro or fineliners.
  • Photocopier inverts of your tonal pieces.
  • 2 pages of well presented thoughtful research into Jasper Johns (number/letter work). Include at least one sensitive visual response. 
  • At least 2 printed out PhotoShop letter compositions, experimenting with layers, opacity, colour etc.
Tasks for this week:


  • At least 1 colour collage piece created by combining 2 or more "colour conversion" copies of your tonal work.
  • A gold card plate cut and printed with the prints and plate mounted into your sketchbook
  • Block letterform experiments- a series of
  • Several other colour experiments with your letter compositions e.g. Ink and bleach, spray stenciling, paint, cut paper light experiments.
  • An acetate collage, using cut photocopier experiments, along with other papers (newsprint, brown paper etc.) to fill spaces in your compositions.
  • 2 pages of research into a second Artist/Designer who works with letterforms in an innovative way (e.g. Michael Craig Martin or David Carson). Analyse some specific works in detail, provide brief background biographical information, quotes from the Artist, a visual response ...you should be getting familiar with the drill!
  • 3D relief piece
