︎ Research-Based Design
︎ Analog + Digital Process

For my Typography Final, I was assigned to research the designer Neville Brody and generate work based on based on a typeface of his (with requirements such as displaying the full alphabet, an enlarged letter, etc.). 

FF Blur is a typeface rooted in the 1970s punk scene, drawing inspiration from the degradation caused by copying and recopying on a Xerox. Intrigued by its analog origins, I pay homage to this “organic” process of degeneration by printing my design layer by layer on vellum,  then scanning it in for retouch and additional elements. Finally, the poster is enlarged and printed on paper. 

The design itself is kept to be as minimal as possible, allowing the imperfection that arises from the digital-analog interaction to take centre stage.

︎ Sophomore Design Studio I
︎ Iterative Design Project
︎ Final outcome: Poster

Explored the materiality of the assigned object, a brown paper bag by generating iterations of abstract elements and typesetting using both digital and analog processes.
Synthesized existing type and imagery by designing multiple compositions.
Created a final poster informed by previous experimentation.
Exhibited in the RISD GD Commons for one week.

Typographic poster based on a question that haunted me in the dead of night.

“Entropy is a scientific concept that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.”

Pure visual chaos in poster form.
