My own Alphabet

Well, This is always going to be my weak point, but you know what, I am ready for this! I think...

I had to create the alphabet using an element of the city... and I chose spills! tea spills, drink spills, coffee spills etc... I think it is an factor of the city, that adds personality to the place, as wierd as it sounds, I just feel that it tells you about the people who live within it, its fast paced, hot drinks are very common especially in the morning when you're rushing to the train or bus or even your next class! and sometimes that drink you have is just too hot or the lid wasnt on properly, or simply you're a little bit clumsy and you knock into something or someone?

I dont know what it is about these little spills, but it is something that just happens! Anyhow, I went out to gather up some first hand research and see where I go with it!

(Above: I didnt want to upload too many images but, I thought Id put up these two. I like the flow of the liquids, how it just ebbs and flows between the nooks and crannies of the floor and wall, its so fluent and rich in colour, the gradients from strong to weak and the curved compounds of it from where its more weighted with liquid, I feel really inspired by it... I really like the shapes and formations of the spills and I would really like to see where I go with it...)

(Above: My developments, I decided to go with coffee as my medium to use when creating my own alphabet, at first, I was a little too afraid to be messy and so I kept it confined, but even by doing that I could see where the weight coffee hadnt been absorbed by the paper and created that wonderful gradient I was seeking in the first place... From there, I let myself go a bit, Maintaining control of my teaspoon, I was way more generous with the amount of coffee i applied to the paper, when I finished, I found out that I really like the splattered look of it, It gave it a more natural feel to it, but it still doesnt have that flow, and from the crit session, from my peers and Andy, i want to take on board what they say and try and link the letters together, just absratct it and make it look more coffee inspired, not forced.)
