Six-Word Memoir

The six-word memoir was a project whose purpose was to start thinking of type as an image. The memoir had to have a 2.5”x 3.5” size to imitate a playing card with front and back. The project was created using Adobe Illustrator and printed using inDesign.

Type Compositions

The featured type studies were developed in Fall of 2023. The content and compositions contend with a diversity of subject matters, mediums, typographic arrangements, hierarchy of information, and underlying text/grid structures. This series serves to catalog a foundational understanding of how text and composition come together to create meaning and interest. These type studies also establish an understanding of typographic experimentation, functionality, and working within visual constraints/systems.
