Let's write F L A S H K I T ... with photos

[Subway]

Ok, here's an idea I just had:

Make and post 8 photos, each photo is one character of the word FLASHKIT. Search different forms that look like each character. Each photo has to be something else, so don't make 8 pictures of a car or something. Let's post each "character" of the "word" in the same size so that all together form the word "FLASHKIT" when looked at from some distance.

I think this could be a nice exercise to train the eye for underlying forms ... so let's do it. :)

sounds like a great idea ... definitely count me in

[asheep_uk]

Yep! Might take me a week to think of something clever though... :)

One day, one week, one month ... I think this thread will be up for a while, so take your time. I will need at least a few days as well.

[ctranter]

[MsPamela]

Now THAT is Neat!!! What a fantastique idea! The "L" and "S" were a great shots!

[Subway]

Personaly I'm still nowhere. ;)

nice one, carly. :)

subbers, I might be interested in doing this myself -- are you allowed to "stage" an item to create a shape/character? e.g. an upside down lamp to create "L"?

[Subway]

Hmmm ... I would say it would be better if you don't artificialy place objects just to get a shape that fits a character, but if you can't find anything without such a trick, just do it.

an upside down lamp to create "L"?

Sounds legal to me... rotation?

[MsPamela]

I meant a lamp something like this:

Anyway, got to make all characters as natural as possible, right?

now need to persuade my work if I could borrow their client's 1K digicam -- still not managed to replace my digicam I lost in Prague!

[MsPamela]

Sorry, I have been too busy here today to get out and try to find all the letters so I had to cheat and place them on the kitchen table. :-(

[alty29]

very nice! what is that sitting on? it looks like they are floating...

[MsPamela]

The island in my kitchen. :-)

[carly1979]

Straight from the Kitchen! :p

that's cool MsPamela :D

much more 'obvious'/easy to read than my obscure letters :)

i love the 'i'

[MsPamela]

hehehe! thanks Carly.... yep, That "i" was tasty!
