Logo choices





I personally prefer the second version. We can of course switch around Deborah's A's. My r needs a bit more space on the bottom but its all come together...

Kate's trial r



T for ArTrA



Finally emerged from layers and layers!

Your 'r' is lovely, Dorcas, and, like Deborah's description of making, it was fascinating to read.

Very much looking forward to seeing the final line-up.

Dorcas's r

At last got myself into gear and spent some time yesterday producing my letter r. I've posted here how I made it. It'll be interesting to see how it sits with the others. I like that fact we all work so differently and have every faith that there will be a unified outcome.


I'm not very happy with the colour of the image but sure that can be rectified.

ArTrA letters

Both look good, Deborah, and I was very interested to read how you made it. We're heading towards the brochure deadline full steam ahead!
I've tried posting under my T and Deborah's image but I don't seem to be allowed to make comments at the moment, just write new posts, so apologies for starting a new thread.
My T is a draft as I haven't tried layering photos before. I wanted to acknowledge the audio part of our project so I started making this image by recording myself saying 'ArTrA' then zooming in on a part of the waveform that seemed able to support a T. I photographed it, played with the colour, and tried out serif and sans serif fonts with a huge capital T. Serif definitely looked stronger. I'm going to try Georgia next, instead of Times New Roman, as it seems to have a more definite top horizontal, and I'm bearing in mind Dorcas' comment.

A for ArTrA

Here are images of my A.  I prefer the softer reverse image in reality but possibly the front for a printed image as it seems to be more defined. 


The base is handrolled felt with Wednesleydale fleece detailing, dyed wool combed tops for the A have been needle punched, the fibres get taken from the front through to the back interlocking them and giving a softer image.  I then needle punched around the borders which makes the finished article more textured. I am not doing anything further with it until I know how they are going to be displayed so at the moment it is larger than the stated size. (I cropped the image down to the correct borders though).

Kate

“To hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don't want to show my feelings: that is the message I address to the other."
Roland Barthes
