Argumentative Typography

3 Compositions for representing an argument typographically, (original brief here).

Initial Idea Sketches

Composition One:
Representing the 'maze' an argument can become: There are always several reactions, i.e. 'aggressive' and 'calming' reactions.

Final Composition



First Sketches

Composition two: Two sides to each argument. Only using blue or red glasses you can read each side of the argument properly. There is also white Letraset on white paper to represent aspects of arguments, which only become apparent when looking/listening more closely.

Final Composition, hand rendered Guache and Letraset


Computer rendered type to be traced later


Screen colour tests


Experiments with styles and colours


Initial Sketch

Composition three: Flipbook. Hand-rendered type, animated in Flash, single frames printed on stickers. One sticker per page.

Quick Pixelation

No idea which bug Blogspot swallowed now, this video is not supposed to look anything like what you can see above, however I quite like it so I'll leave it on the post and will try to upload the video again in a little while.

Quick Comic

Yesterday we started a new subject which will become a regular part of our curriculum: Design. Below is our first brief, we had to do the first part yesterday within two ours. I decided to draw a comic since I have been reading lots of comics (i.e. 'Maus', 'Eightball', 'Jimmy Corrigan') and lots about comics (i.e. 'Understanding Comics') recently, for my contextual studies which are on the subject of 'Comics and Visual Narrative'.
