Destroying Poor Little 'h'

Brief: Comic Sans Destroyed


19th October - 7th December


You are to produce in the workshop, in 3D, the character h. Twice. The first version is to be made out of wood, the second may be made out of any material you like, just as long as it is brilliant white.


The typeface is Comic Sans. You may not distort or change the typeface in any way other than making it deeper, in the 3D sense. The size is up to you, however.


They are to be produced to the highest specifications and the highest quality finish. The painted wood versions are then to be taken out, as a family group, and photographed.


Following this, you are to take away your individual contribution and destroy it. You must submit a minimum of three images which should document the before, during and after elements.

Working in the 3D workshop was good fun and a change from sitting in front of my laptop. It was a good opportunity to show off my manly carpentry skills and also how dashing I look in steel-cap shoesies (especially for girls).


The process was pretty simple, yet needed some careful skill so as not to cut my fingers off. I think I cut and filed those curves nicely though. Nothing better than a few nice curves and no digit loss.


Now my little letter h is sat in bedroom with it's mate - yellow inflatable H - ready for a nice coat of white paint.
