Visual language...

Our task was to characterise certain verbs over a sequence of 5
10 by 10 squares using only the letter 'A'. Four typefaces including;
Rockwell, Ariel, Times New Roman and Helvetica were handed out
leaving our digression to decide the most suited.

My first word was 'RUSH'.
I decided to use two A's per square and have them both
exiting the frame. The Ariel 'A' being able to rush out of the frame
due to its nimbleness leaving Rockwell lagging behind.

The second sequence was 'STOP'.
Here I decided to reverse the first sequence, having the letter
'A' coming in from the left hand side of the frame,
gradually coming to a stop.

The group task...

Split into groups it was our briefing to this time work a sequence over
20-25 squares. Our group received 'STOP' so decided to extend the
smaller version I did for the individual task over the 25 squares.

However, this idea seemed quite lifeless once exposed to such scale.
We decided to have the 'A's bouncing up and down over the
sequence before coming to a steady stop.

As is evident from the picture, the lower sequence is a lot more
visually responsive compared to the first, easily obtained
by introducing such a simple idea.
