Natural Typography
"Typography designers create typefaces and fonts all the time … but how often is type found/built/hiding in our everyday surroundings? Its time to open your eyes and see the world in a new way, you could find these shapes on monumental sculptures and buildings or on a postage stamp or the bottom of a cup of coffee."
I had to do the same idea as the everyday typography but instead of using everyday objects/packaging I used building or objects that are permanent. To begin I did some research online for types of natural typography that I liked.
I then did my own version of natural type and saved one as colour and as black and white.

Everyday Typography
"Characters/letters are everywhere, exterior/interior, directional, information
signage etc. As a designer, what will catch your eye? When photographing
the letter ‘H’, is that the best example of a ‘H’ that you have seen today? Will
it suit your pictorial alphabet"
I looked online at different everyday typography and also used the website http://www.typographykicksass.com/ before I started taking my own pictures of the alphabet. Below are some pictures that I like of the alphabet.
After doing some research I tried it out on my own and came up with the pictures shown below:
