WORD.

For the idea of my word, my initial idea is to have the word "Classic" to represent the history of Converse and the positive outlook it has had in the last century.
For the physical landscape of the picture, i have picked a basketball scene which related to the brand through the history of the shoe and how it was apart of the evolution of Basketball in America.
Having to use a thread as such to construct te word, i automatically thought of using materials off the famous shoe itslef. SHOELACES.
through this i have experimented how to portray this, and have it as a constructed thread. I have tried using spray glue which, didn't seem to help as much but just it to be sticky.
Then i watered P.V.A glue down to a more liquid state, to soak the shoelaces in. This thankfully stiffened the material.
I have also threaded the shoelace into mesh wire to keep it into a more stiffened solid.


These as my final images that capture my word expressing the brand Converse and its historical significants.
I have used these colouring techniques for the photo as it gives the essence of an old image.
