Prompt Cards
For the prompt cards the photocopier was used as a way of producing them and allowed for a playful aesthetic to be created. The categories of cards were divided into noun, adjective and verb however these, it was considered, were too formal for the set of cards and did not reflect the experimental approach of the content. Instead the titles were changed to thing (noun category), description (adjective category) ,action (verb category) and material. Although easier to understand, some of the titles would need altering because phrasing which does not accurately represent the types of words (e.g. description could be describe).
The different types of card would be colour copied in one colour. Using bright colours will avoid confusion between cards whilst also making the design striking and playful to look at. Printing in yellow however may be too bright on the white making it hard to read, so this could be changed to another colour. Printing the words out on paper then tearing them down to size to be photocopied meant that each card was completely unique however shared a consistent aesthetic. When the snippets were placed on the photocopier bed the lift was left up to create a dark block colour background. The snippets curled slightly which meant that tone was created within the images creating a three dimensional look. When cut down the borders from the photocopier were left on to further emphasise the technique whilst also creating individually unique cards simply.

Both the verbs and adjectives would be more subjective to visualise which would lead to more varied outcomes, whilst also being the more difficult to create.
Having different piles with the verbs and adjectives being quite hard to visualise and the nouns being simpler because of their physicality means there would be something for all degrees of understanding.
