In-Depth Analysis

Anna Garforth "Grow"

Anna Garforth made this artwork. Anna Garforth is a multi-disciplinary designer in East London. She works at The Plant which is a brand and design agency in Old Street. This work is called 'Grow' which is exactly what is in the image. It shows a photograph of a grown natural typography. It is a landscape and it was created for her own personal use. I have chosen to analyse this piece because it is a good example of creative typography and i would like to include something like this using the same techniques i my final exam piece. However in my exam piece i might choose a different theme. 

I have looked at Anna Garforth's own website to further my understanding of this work. http://www.annagarforth.co.uk/work/grow.html It shows the different pictures that she did relating to this work and also gives a description and title of each piece. I think this work has a theme and that is nature. I think this because she has used natural materials to create the actual typography (plants). Also the word "Grow" suggests nature. The title also gives the theme away to the audience. In the description, Anna Garforth also includes "A self initiated project,searching for hidden, wildspaces around London. This small wilderness was locked away behind steel gates. Adisused plot of land awaiting development. It’s amazing how quickly the wild reclaims its space and carries on growing even after it has been destroyed. However much concrete is laid, mini ecosystems inhabit the gaps and push through undeterred." 

The materials she has used for this piece is natural materials such as grass. It was a long process to create these because she had to wait for the actually grass to grow into this shape. 

Here is another piece of work that Ana Garforth has done. She has used similar materials to the first image such as nature but this time to create the actual typography she used masking tape and a wire fence. I think both of the pieces she did are good because they are both have completely different fonts
