What else do you do?

I got given a project this year at uni where I could more or less do anything I liked. It was called 'What else do you do?' and was one of my favorites as there was literally no structure and no limits at all. It was a chance to do something completely creative, and a great opportunity to use all the other facilities and resources in the school. Some people chose to make and illustrate their own books, create quirky animations, or even craft something beautiful from paper.

I chose to write the word 'prick' using pins.

It was just a simple play-on-words idea that I came up with which is pretty self-explanatory. I thought it was still quite "course-appropriate" as it primarily focuses on typography, but still gave me an opportunity to be a bit audacious, and see what I could get away with.. which apparently wasn't much seeing as the school principal wouldn't allow it in my final end of year degree show. Gutted.

  2. Hahah I thought someone might appreciate it :p

    It's in my room yea.. just not on the wall yet as there's not much room, and most of the walls are sloped so the pins might fall out.. :/
