KITEOGRAPHY
I came across this designer, Tom Wrigglesworth, when reading the graduate edition of creative review in the summer. Him and his partner were presented alongside other graduates including James and Joe who went to Leeds.

How else can you define or describe 'type in context'? It's an interesting choice of words - isn't typography always in a context? On a surface? in something? Outside of something? How could you go on to discuss the range of contexts that I might encounter type?
ReplyDeleteThe sky's certainly one that you might not expect to 'read' (although there used to be sky-writing via planes trailing smoke, and that scene in the Wizard of Oz where the wicked witch writes with her broomstick. Or did I dream that?) Geese or swans fly in V-formation...
Maybe a typography that's carried in the air is actually returning to those qualities we seem to have lost from speech - being airbound, direct, physical, dynamic?
