Through looking at different depictions of typology alphabets, I saw a strong reliance on the use of type, but many were used as a description for what each image depicted, which I thought was quite limiting, as it doesn't let the artwork talk for itself and let the audience understand the image for themselves. Therefore I decided I wanted to create strong images which could stand without type, but then use the inclusion of type to add a bit of character and humour to the piece, through the depiction of unusual languages. Furthermore, I looked at a few artists who use more graphic, block shapes, as since this was a monochrome task, I thought it would be quite interesting to look at this sort of style. However, upon reflection I think I could have tried to develop my drawings more to create an even more graphic outcome, like the third image here, but since this task did not involve digital work I feel it might have been too ambitious to create and develop 26 stripped down character designs by hand in just a week, and considering the circumstances and time limit I feel very happy with my final outcome.
