Typography
Overview:
I took Studio Art 365 as an elective credit while studying Experience Architecture at Michigan State University. During the class, I created a personal piece titled "b r o k e n" that represented the introduction of typography into my life. Using Adobe Illustrator, I explored the possibilities of typography as an art form and expressed myself creatively. I also spent time designing, creating, and presenting new and interesting forms of typography including my own personally designed original letter(s). I used real art-boards, an X-Acto knife, plotters, and cutting boards to frame my designs for presentation to my class.
Tools Used:
-
Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Plotter, Art-boards
My Role:

Graphic Designer, Typographer
My work:
-
As an Experience Architecture student at Michigan State University, I decided to take Studio Art 365 as an elective credit because of my interest in typography.
-
The class was challenging, with 3-hour studio classes three times a week from 6 pm to 9 pm, but I found the work to be incredibly rewarding.
-
While most projects required following specific typographic instructions, one project allowed us to let our imaginations run wild. This was especially meaningful to me as I was struggling with some personal issues at the time.
-
The piece I created was titled "b r o k e n" and represented the introduction of this new art form into my life. It portrayed a shattered life that could only find metaphorical resonance in newfound mediums.
-
I used Adobe Illustrator to create the piece, which features broken glass with typographic elements within the shards.
-
This project allowed me to express myself creatively and explore the possibilities of typography as an art form. It also provided a way for me to process some of the challenges I was facing during that semester.
