Typotheque

Have you ever thought about what music would look like if it was drawn out? Well, in my case, I never once thought that music can be drawn out either until today.

Thinking about how music could be drawn had given me an insight to each every sound there is in a music. I was able to listen and concentrate on a single sound while the music is playing as a unison. Did you know that concentrating to the sound of a music is so relaxing that it helps you feel sleepy? That's the feeling I felt went drawing the music. It was relaxing, calm and peaceful. 


Did you know that through scribbles of lines can we create the letters in the alphabet? If you think it is not possible. Look at my work. From the drawings I created from listening to music, I was able to find each letters in the alphabet including capital or lower key letters. Although the result won't be as we anticipated as it would be different than any other fonts we have seen but it would be personal and unique fonts.


As this project is asking for a poster for an exhibition, I thought that it would be a great idea if the exhibition would theme typography. I had this idea after doing the drawing the music activity- it made me want to research and create more typography fonts like ones I have created and found.




Looking at Philippe Apeloig who creates his typography through lines and shape had inspired me to produce a similar format. I think that words that are created through shapes are a cool, interesting, and different idea in which I want to try.



Tried copying the yellow line typography by Philippe but since mine was done hand-crafted it didnt look as good Philippe's. However, I was able to gain new skills that I could then transfer in the nearer future. The idea of using bright colour on dark background to present words is a very interesting typography format.
