week 2 - initial ideas

initial ideas:

so there's 3 quotes from three articles we have to produce a typographic response to.
here are my 3:

1) "you're dry. last time i cam here you was wet."
2) "the normal view"
3) "that doesn't work"

here are some of my initial thoughts

1) first idea that came to mind was type in an environment, photographed with something to contextualize the quote. i immediately thought of paint drying, on a fence or wall. kind of relates to the tone of the quote - quite a dry, moaning, bland column, with a dry wit. watching paint dry etc. well i thought it was clever.

2) i'm thinking some kind of 3D work with bricks, maybe against a green backdrop, highlighting the man-made overtaking the natural. hopefully it'll have a subtle subtext and not seem to preechy or conceited, which is not what i want it to be. i'm not trying to make a statement on any kind of social or environmental issues, more an observation.

3) similar grounds with this, i'm thinking anti-war/violence, but making a comment not a right out statement. so something simple and understated using type, hopefully screen printed, with small elements of firearms involved.

some quick mock ups on photoshop for the first quote:
