Yulia Brodskaya

I have decided to include typography in my second paper sculpture which will link closely to the set theme; "100 years of paper." My initial idea is to cut from a sheet of A3 card and decorate around the text. However, I feel that this would not be 'sculpting' as the finished piece would not be 3D. 

After looking through Brodskaya's designs I have been utterly fascinated at the detail that each piece of type contains; every last inch of the design has been intelligently calculated so that the paper all fits together inside the border. Colour is a key part of Brodskaya's designs as with Jen Stark who I have also researched. Unfortunately, I am unable to take any of their design principles for this as I cannot use anything BUT white paper. Here, each design uses a tight colour scheme, using particular shades that fit well and compliment each other. Colour also contributes massively to the final feel of the finished product; in the 'heart' designs instance, the warm, paler tones fill the deep red borders of the word, ensuring the text is still legible. The overall result is that the meaning of the word is really felt in this design. This is the complete opposite of the design below.
