Experimental Alphabets

We were instructed to create 2 alphabets using digital media mixed with outside materials to create a 24x36” poster in black and white or grayscale. The alphabets had to feature A-Z in either upper or lower case and had to be a system with set parameters, a new Helvetica Neue or using found objects to assemble the letters. The first poster features a system made from fingerprints using an ink pad, paper and my finger. I made multiple versions of letters with fingerprints until I found the most visually interesting design system. The second poster used Helevtica Neue to create an outlined glitter Helvetica Neue made from glitter glue and sprinkled glitter on top. I explored filling in letters and multiple outlined versions before choosing the final 3D outlined alphabet.
