Visual Communications - Typography Week 1!!

1st week in graphics and we're starting off with a typography project. My metaphor is 'snowball effect' which in short means to get bigger and out of control.

I started researching type and experimenting with materials in which to write my metaphor like flour ( to get the look of snow) and glue gun ( as it looks cold and icy)

I began to look at the colours I associate with snow - whites and icy blues. I started to recreate my metaphor using wool. I started off with a single white strand and as the word continued I added more  and more coloured strands so by the end of the word, it was much more complicated and messy than when it originally started.

I'm going to adjust this type so the words get bigger as they go along and have the threads messier to communicate the snowball effect.
