Type As Form: Composite by ~frogface9 wraps around itself! It is simplistic and I love it! I want to show you how text can speak for itself, and this is the deviation that does it! It curves and embraces everything typographic. The font matter conveys not just what it is to be typographic, but what it is to enjoy a font!

Description

Typography assignment.

After designing nine separate compositions, each with a different number and letter, but with the same shape, combine them all into a single piece. Design this piece around an adjective. Colors can change where elements overlap multiple compositions. Elements can be moved from their original positions, but must remain in their original square.

Confusing? I probably wouldn't understand if I hadn't done it.

The adjective I chose was 'curious.'

EDIT: This is the first time I've been on DA in over a week because I've been busy. So, when I saw the DD I had to scroll up & down a couple times, just to make sure I was really looking at my piece. Thanks, everyone - especially ~marotiel and ^patgroove!

EDIT (2): This assignment was started on paper and completed in Adobe Illustrator.

this must've been sooo confusing to figure out how to put the 9 separate compositions together in one complete piece. there is soo much going on, and a minimal color palette, but overall it flows very well and is quite an cool typographic piece!!! congrats on the DD! :D :thumbsup:
