Typography idea


This is further testing for our typography from Libby's initial typography research into using melted candle wax.

I used hot glue initially to make the 'Bitter Sweet' so that it was raised becoming easier to see.

I then melted wax dripping it over the title, using white candles firstly to make the title noticeable on the black background. 
I then used red, blue, green and yellow candles to add colour.

When I edited the photo to make the black background darker the title became unclear and not easily readable. 

It did not work out as I'd hoped when edited so will not be used for our typography however was helpful showing we should use a font rather than hand drawn typography.
