As my final piece, as experimented with in my A3 folder, I plan to use a tattoo-esque font to symbolize masculinity in modern day society. To maintain the element of calligraphy, I've chosen to take inspiration from fonts that are used today for many tattoos. All of which have come from a calligraphic background. My interest in tattoos, the calligraphic script background that the font I plan to use will have and their relevance in today's society as a very masculine dynamic makes this idea work for me as a final piece for this project.
I also want to experiment with an added element to my final piece. I plan to draw the calligraphic writing onto one side of an A3 piece of paper, I then want to fold this piece in half, making a see through tracing paper window, with the word Masculinity running through the middle of the page. I then plan to make a number of A4 images, representing tattoos and masculinity that you can then chop and change to show up as the background of the calligraphy. This isn't something I want to spend a lot of time on since the calligraphy is what matters, but I think this element will tie in all of the subjects together as one, whilst still maintaining the typography piece on its own if necessary.
To create this piece, I plan to use my favourite tool throughout experimentation: the end of a biro pen. Using this tool allows me to create a thick blob of ink, that I then move around the page, leaving a very thick ink effect when concentrating on the same small area for a period of time. When using freehand, it allows for long thin lines that almost gradient in their effect from thick to thin.
