Typeface Design / Screen Printing / Illustration
Context:
After being asked to re-contextualise chapter 11 of ‘Ulysses’, I responded by designing a font and poster design.
Final Font
A playful and decorative typeface.
I sketched letterforms using blank sheet music as a grid system. Some featured alternate characters.
I illustrated, designed and printed a series of posters starting with an Exquisite Corpse exercise. I focused on typesetting, enjoying the process of kerning and creating ligatures. Here are my final outcomes with the printed text layer.
Screen Printed Posters
Collaborative Activity & My Response
My final exquisite corpse image to re-interpret - the head was my section.
Screen print positives illustrated using Procreate.
First four layers of my print, making up my character.
