Typography, 2nd Assignment, Part 3: The 10 Drafts

DRAFTS (x10)


NOTE: Visualizations are NOT allowed for this part of the project.


These are the 10 drafts for the third (and final) part of the second project. Each box (approximately 8" x 10") contains a unique and artful interpretation of the heading Small Child, Big Worries. Due to the large size of these boxes, there is only one box per image. Furthermore, aside from the heading, there are the presence of several lines within a box. Each line indicates where a sentence of the paragraph(s) will be placed; like the heading, the arrangement and placement of these lines function to convey a particular message to the viewer as well. Note that the paragraph(s) are short descriptive passages concerning the social context of the heading Small Child, Big Worries.


As described on the Statement on the last post, the idea is to visually express chaos, discord, disorder, pressure, relinquishment, detachment and isolation. This is done through the vibration, squeezing, separation and random placement of letters and sentences. Every creative concept that was thought of for this part of the project heavily focuses on emotional depression.


There will be a formal critique in class on Monday, April 18, 2011. The instructor will have to choose two drafts that are to be digitalized and finished on Illustrator. Then, once finished, the digital versions will be mounted on a 15" x 20" black Illustration Board. All parts of the second project will be finished by then.

  1. Good work Nil. I believe this project is not easy at all. Personally, I am having a hard time dealing with it. Your first draft is great. It shows balance as it shows your theme.

  2. I commented on the wrong section! Opps well the last comment I wrote was for this section. My two favorite that I like is on the second column the third one down. I like how the big worries is squishing the small child. The other one I like is the first column and is the the first one on the top. This is very powerful because of the letters being so big and bold it really catches my attention. Good job again!
