The first assignment we did was Rubbish, where we were to design an alphabet from refuse or found objects. We are to digitally photograph or scan the objects and import them into digital front, creating our own ‘Rubbish’ font.
I used the background of my backyard fence where I usually associate rubbish with the most. I am a student living with other young students and friends so we tend to have a lot of rubbish after parties and sessions at my house. The rubbish bins and yard is always overflowing with empty beer bottles and slab boxes so I thought I would use rubbish from my own back yard as it kinda sums up what sort of person I am. Objects used to make my rubbish alphabet were empty beer bottles, packs of cigarettes, cheap Coles rissole containers, McDonalds thick shake cups, and broken shoes.
I individually made my seven letters to spell Rubbish and took photos with my iPhone and uploaded them to photoshop. I cut each individual letter out with the Polygonal Lasso Tool then pasted each onto the background image I took previously. I placed the letters to created the word RUBBISH over my side fence and changed the file name of each layer accordingly. I then sharpened each layer and its edges to make them stand out a bit more.
some rubbish i found in my backyard.
Final rubbish font.
