Liverpool FACT Gallery Visit - Summer Brief - OUGD504
Whilst on a visit to Liverpool, I decided to go and take a look in the Fact gallery whilst 'Build your own tools for sharing' was on.
There was something on which was of interest for me and which holds some relevancy within my own concept for the Summer Brief.
One exhibition in FACT, and a very small one at that looked at the decaying of old signage and typography. Such as the Futurist Cinema, built in 1912, since abandoned and forgotten:
Although it isn't industrial per se, it holds that idea of deterioration being viewed in a positive light. Something which obviously isn't beautiful, but is beautiful to look at nonetheless.

Manchester - Summer Brief - OUGD504
I know of Manchester as having an enriched history in the industrial world. So I chose to travel down there. This time using a DSLR to improve the quality of my outcomes and more importantly to be able to get some more professional looking shots that can be printed at 300DPI for my publication later on in the project.
Manchester
Bearing in mind that these images are in an unedited format. This just gives the idea of what theme I am following and to ensure consistence is maintained throughout development.

Liverpool - Summer Brief - OUGD504
Liverpool
To begin the project, I've taken a trip to Liverpool for the day and figured I would try and get a few good photographs to get the ball rolling.
A companies information imprinted onto a steel bean of the Albert Dock buildings. In need of some exposure enhancement and shadow increase.
Sunny Southport
And a couple from my hometown, Southport. They aren't so related to the industrial concept, but still somehow give off the same dreary feel of industrial type so I have decided to include them.
Welcome to Dismaland. Cough... I mean... Funland. Which, speaking of Banksy's Dismaland, this is also set in a seaside location. How ironic.

Up-cycling alberts dock buildings. The Liverpool Tate is a prime example of an industrial building being used for something in today's modern society.
'Real burgers'. This stood out to me because of the extremely bold and in your face type used in such an unusual layout. The letters threatening to fall off gives that same unmaintained feel of industrial buildings.

Concept Generating - Summer Brief - OUGD504
This project must "celebrate the richness and diversity of type as it is to a specific place". That being said, I want my concept to be strong, and not to mimic what the rest of my peers may come up with.
Mind Map
By utilising the information within the above mind map, I am able to gauge what concept has the most variables, but whilst still maintain an original feel.
The consumerist route would be easily executed as it is extremely easy to access as it is everywhere we look, this is why I narrowed it down to a sort of sub-concept such as bands and publications. But again, I feel this is too unoriginal and will not interest me a much as the Industrial aspect would.
My personal interests consist of industrial Britain, more specifically the architecture of such buildings in the north. Where a lot of the factories and mills are still in-tact and in some rare occasions, still functioning. My first thoughts are to incorporate this very specific style of typography into the concept. With it often being hand rendered and quite old and deteriorated I think it is a nice theme to stick with as it will be a consistent style and not look like a library of random pictures that could have been taken whist I was on holiday.
