Why i destroyed Helvetica ''T''

I destroyed Helvetica "T" as i felt the medium i used allowed me to be far more creative, fun, playful and myself (bring out my personality) in destroying it. My comic sans "r" held a far more sentimental meaning to me and i could not bear to destroy it.

Keeping Comic Sans "r"









I wrapped up my comic sans "r" in a custom made tie- dye cloth, from my grandmother in Gambia Africa. I decide to do so as one of my early memories of making bread, was with my grandmother and mother in our house in Gambia, when i visited in 1995. And this is my very first loaf of bread i made so it was quite symbolic for me to encase it in a memory.

Scenario 2 Final






Scenario 2- Test shots














I had to get the position of the shoot right so my mum had to take pictures in various positions and show me until i felt it was the right one. And yes i dunked my head into the cake, a first time for me. It was quite an exhilarating moment. I took some time to wash that cream off my face, and i ended up smelling like cream for a while.
