i began by looking at quotes which might be good for the wall. i wanted to steer clear of the usual cliche 'inspirational' quotes that typographers adhere to because they are over used, do not really 'inspire' people, and loose imapct because everyone uses them.

having spoken to issy we decided that this quote was the most light hearted and least cliche and would work well in the classroom as it was relatable. we decided that we would each do a typorgaphic propsal and then confer to decide upon what we thought was the best idea or combination to go forward with.
“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”
i then went on to gather some visual research in the form of imagery of exisiting wall murals based around type -
