Todays tasks were to continue with Artist research and imitate a few techniques through the research i have found. 

I was able to email the typographer Ewald Spieker, who experiments with forms of typography. I was fortunate to visit him in Amsterdam at his studio, and i was so inspired by all his pieces, that i have based my project on the way he experiments with the form of typography. I am hoping that he will email me back with information on where he gets his inspiration and ideas from. 

Above is a photo i took while in Amsterdam of outside of Ewald Spieker's studio.

I managed to do a few sketches from some pictures i have found in books but i have been unable to create any design sheets. However i will persist in researching artists one i have been advised to look at was Eric Gill and Bob and Roberta Smith.
