I took the type i was designing for 'strength' and made the full upper case typeface for it. Works well!

The posters will be seen in class on wall space in DT rooms to act as reminders and guides in lessons as demonstrated in the photos.

Above is the printed set, i printed them to a square format to really break out of the a format mode. As a set i think they work well for being a simple reflection for students to look at to understanding what the word means.
These are the final ideas all of which communicate the meaning of the word through image and type. In all honesty some of these are simpler than others, the first two, above and below here are fairly straight forward.

The above piece relied on me creating a new typeface, well i've only designed the letters i needed for this. Bold, heavy in weight type helps connote strength. I may take the idea of this typeface and make a complete typeface in this design.
The above, 'plasticity' was rather difficult to design. The word means for a permanent change in shape which is why i've shown the evolution of a standard letter becoming a shape. So in illustrator i rasterized the type so i could stretch and play with the anchor points, to eventually convey a growth in weight.
Above and below just some ideas thrown onto paper for how i can play with type. I'll take the good ideas into illustrator.

Researching into playful type that has a relationship with image and either communicates message or looks aesthetically pleasing.






This is just a one day brief where i can play around with type and how type can act as image to communicate message. Above are my ideas in illustrator, playing with vectors.
