Typographic Portrait: Research

As someone who loves Pinterest, my research is mostly based on the interesting pins I’ve found. (Seriously, Pinterest is the best)

These are some of the string art I’ve found. It is very interesting how a simple technique is able to play with both negative and positive space. I really like the colourful ones!

Also, some optical illusions typography:

(This is my favourite and I think this would look really good with string as a medium)


 

Some paper cut out typography:

I like how although the letters are not complete, we are still able to read the letters normally.

I think that this is another interesting approach for “adapting easily”

I like the idea of using a single piece of paper and just cutting my name out to show how I adapt easily to my surroundings. 😀


 

Here are some research for “I am very messy”:

Using the concept of pasting scraps.


 

Here are some cut outs that I find beautiful:

Really love how cut outs can make you feel peaceful and relaxed when you look at it, just like what travelling does to me.
