One week project: Typography

Inspired by the Reverend’s good book, this year’s typography brief took the raw materials of letters, numbers and glyphs; and asked the students to create faces and animals from them. The premise of the project was to instil the notion that through taking a seemingly everyday object and looking at it with fresh eyes, you can create a completely new idea. This is a fundamental lesson in lateral thinking, and a primer in the ‘art of looking sideways’.
