This project is about experimenting typography, going on to examine how the represented word itself transmits a meaning.
The goal is exploring a series of surprising processes and investigations to see where they can lead us. Everything started with a poem written in a language that I cannot read looking at the typography as a form of drawing beyond the literal meaning of each written word.
In the analysis of the text in its original version, what attracted me was that the letters seemed to take shape, distancing themselves from a rigid straight line almost into a sort of dance or more metaphorically out of rebellion.
The exploration then moved in search of something that visually expressed the sense of movement.
After various experiments, the techniques used and combined with each other are the suminagashi technique and ink imprinted on paper by rotating two marbles in a box.
Finally, the bizarre thing is that the translation confirmed the initial feeling, the idea of saying “enough-it’s enough!” and going away.
The choice of the words “Spirited-Undisciplined-Rebellious” used to realize three posters, encouraged even more towards this concept of movement and freedom.
The final design is a series of 3 Posters (18 x 24") visually related to each other but that also work individually.
