Typography is always interesting. The way it allows for communicating meaning twice, when photos and graphic icons only allow once. Reading and seeing words written (when done a certain way) can create contrasting meanings, or reinforce each other.

Project Details

Seriwes of posters designed to show how visual context and the written word don’t always align, and when not aligned can deepen meaning in the words.
