Day one I forgot my camera at home so the few pictures here are in tune with the theme of the workshop - taken with my mobile. I took the students to an old cemetery where they sketched lettering, made rubbings and took reference pictures, but I didn't allow them to use good quality cameras, only phone cameras. The point of this was to work some loss of quality into the research: Old headstones, weathered (and unfortunately also vandalised) recorded with crappy cameras and sketched on a cold, windy day, this would force the students to re-interpret what they'd seen. After lunch the students sketched the letters "hamburgefontsiv". Day two Computer day, The students were to re-interpret their letters once again in Illustrator. No scanning allowed. I've tried to force rules on to the students in earlier workshops, there've always been someone who cheated, but this lot understood that this was all about learning and not making a cool font. Unfortunately there was a mess up so "computer day" left us without computers until lunch. Annoying as it was, there was no time limit on how long we could stay at the school, so we caught it up. Day three the students swapped fonts and did posters to see how well the fonts worked. I did the same thing in the "Found" workshop and it really works, it gives you the hands-on approach and also lets the creator of the font see a use of it that they didn't expect. the weakest point of this workshop was the timing, we could have used a day more so the students could have made a full alphabet. That would have made the poster-bit easier as well.
