Here are examples of our typographic experiment part 2. At the beginning of Typography Two we focus on exploring typography & language; meaning & message; and medium, context & environment. Our goal is to develop inventive work that explores how typographic treatment and context affect meaning and message. We consider our experimenting to be (quick) typographic journeys. We follow up our initial explorations by placing them in context, on objects, or in a specific environments. Through this project we ask how does our contextual placement alter, enhance, contradict or obfuscate the message and its meaning?
Minji Pak, an international student from South Korea, created a personal reflection on both her love of McDonald’s french fries and living for a time in Portland, Ore. The letters with french fries and ketchup.
Part One:
The next question the project asks is to put the experiments into a context and to play with non-traditional media and placement. What if Minji's personal message is placed on objects or in an environment—how does the placement alter, enhance, contradict or obfuscate the message and its meaning? Part Two:
