“Destroy”\u00a0is about a 3D sculptural onomatopoeia lettering.<\/p>\n

What is an onomatopoeia?<\/h1>\n

It is a linguistic\u00a0imitation or visual representation of a sound. The\u00a0word suggest visually what it means. They can usually be found in comics. Example: The word “Explosion” could be graphically represented by an\u00a0exploding\u00a0text.<\/p>\n

\"Onomatopoeia\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Used material and handling<\/h1>\n

I used a 3cm thick polystyrene surface. This material was chosen for this work because it can be handled very easy. In addition, it can be destroyed in a very interesting way.<\/p>\n

\"Polystyrene\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La manipulaci\u00f3n del material se ha realizado mediante c\u00fater y cuchillo, lo que permit\u00eda crear unos bordes bruscos y destruidos. Tambi\u00e9n se utiliz\u00f3 una m\u00e1quina de hilo caliente para cortar la base y separar las piezas. Esta m\u00e1quina no se utiliz\u00f3 para hacer los recortes de las formas debido a que el corte que produc\u00eda era demasiado limpio y lo que interesaba era justo lo contrario.<\/p>\n

3D lettering work process<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. 3D model mockup creation in Cinema 4D:<\/strong>\u00a0“Helvetica LTD\u00a0Std Black” was the used type for this lettering because of his roughness and thickness. These features were required in order to create the destruction effect.<\/li>\n
  2. Template creation and printing<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Template\u00a0cutting<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Drawing transfer to material<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Base cutting<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Sculpture visual composition<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Base destruction<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Letter handling and pasting<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Painting phase: <\/strong>My\u00a0first idea was to use 2 colours, but due to the erosion effect that the paint spray applies to the polystyrene\u00a0I changed my mind and decided to use only black colour.<\/li>\n
  10. Drying and photograph<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
