Project 2 - Stairway to Helvetica



This project was challenging and a bit scary to say the least! Singing is not a great talent of mine, and neither is presenting in front of a large group of people. This included both. We had to create a song in groups based on a font which we were randomly given. We were presented with Zapf Dingbats, probably then strangest font ever since it doesn't actually make sense in any language, it's purely symbols. We had the idea of making a song literally from the symbols themselves, saying words in different tones and to a rythm. This was somewhat inspired by 'The potter puppet pals' from youtube, which a few people actually noticed ( I honestly didn't think they would!) Performing it was the horrible bit, making it up and doing the video was actually quite fun.
