These are my type explorations playing with materials that form alphabets in collage, drawing, vector, and even glue that creates structure and movement. This is an a fun exercise to understand the principles of type in the most exciting way. Then the fold out pamphlet creates dimension and texture from how the type is treated and understanding legibility.
This is a conceptual Film Festival Poster that themes in Hopeless Romantics. The Film Festival would showcase movies that includes theater and music that involves the running theme of not accomplishing their dreams. I chose a rose to symbolize romanticism and teeth to symbolize a voice that sings for it's feelings being heard. The image making is collaged with detailed Illustrations. Also, the type is Illustrated as well. This poster and title was influenced by Matmos in "Roses has teeth in a mouth of a beast". Then I created an abstratct animation short as a Film Festical set.
