Design for print and web/ ISTD/ Action plan

Target audience (Specified)

Gardeners who enjoy the practice of growing plants and tending to their life either as a job or a hobby, 35-40 years of age

Research

Look into the anatomy of typography
Discover plant biology 
Develop a breadth of visual and informative research about botanical life
Look at publications, website, books and guides about plants, life processes, evolution, living organisms, and culture to develop a better understanding about 'plantae' 
Photoshop and after effects tutorials 

Media 


Explore hand rendered type 

Create a title from a well executed typeface, using either photoshop or after effects to then make a time lapse of the word growing in the form of plants and flowers.
Design, and execute examples using the laser cutter from media development as well as a technique which may be used in a final product
