I really enjoyed this brief, picking the quotes at the time the brief was handed out forced me into making a decision quick, rather than time wasting.
Picking the quotes was relatively easy, I figured picking two for each, and experimenting, would allow me to see which would give the stronger visual. For the Doctor, Doctor quote I instantly knew I wanted to experiment with using real tablets mounted to card. The other quotes took a bit more thought. My Facebook quote 'friends' was not as strong as I thought it would have been. Instead of being a white A1 of satin gloss with spot varnish it looked more like a plain sheet of paper, this is due to the lack of facilities for spot varnish, so I had to use a clear ink instead. I was aware that it may not be as successful, but didn't realise it would turn out like it did. This may be a reason my work disappeared, it did just look like plain paper.
The 'cat doesn't speak english' took a bit more thought, and I am pleased with the outcome, using an Arabic font that almost looks illegible really portrays the language barrier between owner and cat.
On the whole, I was pleased with the work I produced, and would like to continue using type as image in the future, it's a strong and visual method of communication.
