This
piece someone used ink to paint a gradient on the old factory's windows
and then rubbed out the ink to create the letter-forms. This was so that the sun
light would change the look of the lettering throughout the day as it
shines through. I picked this because I am interested in large scale typography and art installations.

I selected this because of
the main typography header and the technique that has been used to get the
style.
This would be possible by
using a roller or paintbrush to paint the red shape and then placing it over
the hand image in Photoshop. The typography looks like it was done with cut out
shapes like typesetters printing blocks and then used to stamp on the lettering.
This creates a blended rough look to the letterforms and could represent the
theme that was based on people living on the limits of society who can’t get
job or legal papers.

This is one experimental idea that I really enjoyed, the word in Indian means the smell of rain on dry ground. This is represented by using stencils with water over the top to create the letter-forms and then it will change over the day until it has dried up. I would like to try this out someday to see what other effects can be done. The making of this piece can been seen in this animation:
