First Planning:
Basing the first stage of my work, I tried using the synonyms that i gathered to describe my word to represent my typeface.
At First I searched a few random examples that were simple and short to the point.
My first idea was to have my word 'concise' decreasing within size to a specific point (in this case at the end of the word).
When having to show this at class i got told i had done the wrong thing, I had to base my typeface in this case, Helvetica, within an Alphabet that would follow a specific patten created by us.
Here are the work pages i showed at todays lesson.

Following my classmates comments (which were really useful given that i have never worked with typography before and having their work as an example) i managed to produce a certain range of designs.
I used the lower case letters S-E-C-A

I produced 16 different designs within the Helvetica typeface and the lower case letters s-e-c-a.
Now that i have done the right thing and Im ready to show and gain feedback, I will be able to chose 2 or 3 final letter forms to work on and manipulate on the computer and see the process of printing.
1. Is the lower case
Helvetica typeface.
2. Is similar to number
one, but I've decided to remove the inside of the letters and keep it as
thick lines to represent how my type face is concise – Straight forward and
simple.
3. Is different to the
first two due to the change of filling, from a simple font or an empty inside
but thick lines to a type face that can only be recognized due to a group of
dots creating the shapes for the letters.
4. Maintaining the idea of
filling, I decided to leave some black spaces between to represent the
shortness of the message, referring back to my word ‘concise’.
5. I’ve now decided to
experiment with lines, keeping it simple but focusing my message in a different
way.
6. Following the idea of
number 5, I decided to make it more complex by adding horizontal lines to the
typeface.
7. Following the past ideas
of having lines (5 and 6) I’ve now added vertical lines. + Going back to the
definition ‘straight to the point’ I believed I could try focusing this idea by
making a range of lines meeting at a central point for each letter.
8. I consider myself
someone how likes experimenting and adding really small and complex patterns to
my work. The word concise dose not defines me as an artist, given that I do not
enjoy making my work simple and plain. Given this reason, I thought about producing
a pattern that could maybe make my work stand out a little more (in this case
using triangles).
9. For this design I decided
to look back at my work and develop number 3 by leaving a bigger gap between
each point/dot and actually defining the outside line of the letter.
10. Is a further
development of number 4, but having diagonal spaces and having symmetrical
blocks.
11. Is another variation of
dots, in this case there’s a circle within another to show/represent the hidden
message ‘straight to the point’.
12. Following the
definition I’ve been trying to show with my other designs, I decided to make
spirals that reach a central point for each letter.
13. Is a combination between
4 and 10, but having shaped that develop from a central point/blob/circle. The
only problem I see within this idea is that it wouldn’t work with all the
letters of the alphabet.
14.Semi circles have been
cut out of the letter.
15. Another idea of ‘straight
to the point’ using circles.
16. A more precise design
of a past idea (number 4).
After todays lesson, the
feedback that I was given was that I had a big variety within my designs, which
was good to have a bigger range of different opinions.
People thought that my
designs had the right meaning behind it and that I should maybe stick to the designs
with dots/circles.
Designs 3+9+11 and chose
one of them to work with.
