Expressive type



On 18/10/16 we started a new typography project. The aim was to deconstruct and express type in a new creative manner. For this, I researched Swiss typographers and David Carson and used their works as inspiration to develop my own. I used different methods to deconstruct type like tearing it, dipping it in teabag solution, changing the grey scale etc as part of my brainstorming. The end result was a 3D box, each side containing opposite words expressing its meaning. The words I chose were DARK/LIGHT, ORDERED/CHAOTIC, STRAIGHT/WAVY.
