Bleeding Letters

For my second typography project we had to create a 12'' x 20'' poster using type only. What was required of us was to use the dot matrix system that printers use in order to create the word "typo". We were also asked to use our first project, which required us to paint the word "typography" in four different typefaces on several sheets of 11'' x 17'' paper, in this project although many of opted to not as it didn't produce the same clean result you would get with digital typefaces. For this project we also had to do some research on a famous typographer and include a small biography in our poster, although we had to keep in mind that the biography was a small part of the poster and didn't need to be as prominent as the word "typography".

For my poster, I chose to keep everything in a straight line (as this was what my professor asked of us originally, although he has the tendency to change his mind constantly throughout a project), but because it was plain and boring I started to fill each letter in the word "graphy" and made it look like it was bleeding letters.

In any case, I apologize for the terrible quality of the image I uploaded. The original poster is currently being displayed on the 3rd floor of the Annex Building so feel free to check it out, as well as the other posters that are being displayed there.
