the term ‘manuscript’ come from the Latin word for ‘handwritten’. Before the invention of printing all books had to be written out by hand this was time consuming. Although paper was available in southern Europe from the twelfth century, its use did not become widespread until the late Middle Ages - there was no paper mill in England until the fifteenth century. Before this the usual support for writing was parchment (also known as vellum), made from stretched, treated animal skins. A large manuscript might require one whole cow- or sheep-skin to make a folded sheet of two to four pages, and a thick book could require the hides of entire herds. Medieval books were therefore expensive items. Some manuscripts were made even more precious by ‘illumination’. This term comes from the Latin word for ‘lit up’ or ‘enlightened’ and refers to the use of bright colours and gold to embellish initial letters or to portray entire scenes. Sometimes the initials were purely decorative, but often they work with the text to mark important passages, or to enhance or comment on the meaning of the text.

This is my experimental test, I used flour as a base to mount the fake blood onto to avoid the fake blood spilling and spreading out, I drew a shape onto card an created a stencil by using a Stanley knife, I then tested how much flour I would need to add to the fake blood to create the right effect and colour.

i like how the designer extends the height of the lines of the letter and how it creates blocks/grids of empty space which makes it a creative way to then add text. she also fills in the counters of the letter in orange which breaks up the boring black and white contrast, also the thick bold lettering looks modernized rather than and old fashioned font like times new roman.

i like the variation of thick bold heavy text mixed in with the lighter condensed font.

It is funny how digits like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, can make everything feels like f a l l i n g and at the same time breaking or tearing apart, or building and starting a new.

Numbers, with ones, tens, hundreds, and even thousands and so on can measure our distance, the...

this poem is quite inspiring how the words are positioned and designed to represent the word like how the word 'falling' is written vertically to make it seem as though its actually is falling.

although the word doesn't necessarily represent the image it creates i still like the typographic design,and its roughness.

Words by David Lynch

i like how the image represents the content, how the words become harder to distinguish as though its running out of time.

i like the composition of this concrete poetry piece, its quite creative how the designer chose to fold a page in a book to create a square and although the text isn't continuous i like the idea of a line of symmetry or in this case a line that breaks up the poetry.
