Brief: To produce a series of 10 variations of a single letterform that communicates my own interpretation of a randomly selected word. The final pieces should be based on existing letterforms, completely hand-rendered and in black and white.
Random word: DISSOLVE
Research:
1. To cause to pass into solution: dissolve salt in water.
2. To reduce (solid matter) to liquid form; melt.
3. To cause to disappear or vanish; dispel.
4. To break into component parts; disintegrate.
5. To bring to an end by or as if by breaking up; terminate.
6. To dismiss (a legislative body, for example): dissolved parliament and called for new elections.
7. To cause to break down emotionally or psychologically; upset.
8. To cause to lose definition; blur; confuse: "Morality has finally been dissolved in pity" (Leslie Fiedler).

v.intr.
1. To pass into solution.
2. To become liquid; melt.
3. To break up or disperse.
4. To become disintegrated; disappear.
5. To be overcome emotionally or psychologically: I dissolved into helpless laughter.
6. To lose clarity or definition; fade away.
7. To shift shots in a motion-picture film or videotape by having one shot fade out while the next appears behind it and grows clearer as the first one dims.
n.
A transition in a motion-picture film or videotape made by fading out one shot while the next one grows clearer. Also called lap dissolve.
Initial Ideas: - Letterform could be enhanced then removed, or sectioned into tiny sectors
- Lines to represent melting - spertaion // fade away - layers
- Extracts placed over like layers have dissolved
Typography Research:
I have looked at some different typograhy as research before I start my initial sketched into my designs. I feel that using the word dissolve is quite useful in typograhy as quite alot can relate to it. Although we have to use an exsisting typeface i feel that i can enhance and tweek the designs i look at.
