SHUTTER TYPE /
Self Initiated project /
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Illustrator
- Screen-printing
Brief / I wanted to make a project which captures my interest in typography, wanting to highlight the beauty of letterforms in the environment.
Solution / The project focused on exploring the characteristics of typography found on metal shop shutters. The solution was a large book screen-printed using metallic ink on black paper. The vertical concertina folding represents the motion of a shutter opening and closing and the imagery itself showcases the grid-like lines used in between the panels in a shutter. Users can then interact with the book, opening it up fully to see the large letterforms and the co-ordinates of where they were found.
