PROJECT 2 - TYPOGRAPHIC SPACE

Brief : In this project we will focus on the typographic abstraction and representation of a 'living space.' The aim is to examine, analyse and represent the qualities of a specific SOCIAL SPACE through a typographic composition. By experimenting with new forms and relations in typography, you are expected to transform an experienced and shared space into visual form.

In this context, abstraction is an important key-word. Our project does not involve ''drawing by letters'; but arranging typographic forms in accordance with design principles so that the finished composition will create the 'feeling' of the selected social space. The project requires you to transform a social space into typographic abstraction. The function of the area, people's behavior, its sound, directions, movement, history, architectural structure, color, simply all features that create the atmosphere of your selected social space can be used as key-words for your departure.

In this project, you have to come up with your own materials. Instead using dummy text, please refer to your subject. You can use your notes, previously written material, comments dialogues, signs as your material. Be creative !!!

We will be doing collages next class in the studio, so please bring magazines, news papers, items which have relevance with your space. Come to class prepared and decide on your space.
