Democratisation of Typography

by Joanne Butlin

My project focusses on the typography around the Arts Centre and looks in depth at how everyday signage and text is a fundamental part of our everyday lives, whether this is for instructional purposes, warnings, advertisements or for providing information.

Through the use of simple black t-shirts, accompanied by bold, white writing, I am aiming to democratise various typography around the Arts Centre including the bar, cinema, café, lobby, and the book shop. By placing the selected texts onto t-shirts, this has stripped each text from its original context, so that everything can be unified.
