The Pursuit of Chaos
For my Type Plus class assignment, the objective was to explore the concept of experimental typography by creating a book that incorporates an essay of my choice on the subject, along with examples of innovative typographic designs found in the real world. My goal with the book design was to push the boundaries of conventional typography, mixing the expected with the unexpected. I experimented with various typographic techniques, such as contrasting small, condensed type with large, widely spaced type; using both horizontal and vertical orientations; and playing with light type on dark backgrounds and dark type on light backgrounds. I layered type over shapes and other text, broke the grid structure, and allowed the type to extend beyond the page.
