Using Glyphs as Your Brush Stroke
Art comes in many forms. I'm beginning to learn that art can be anything. Our Typography class included a project that assigned each student a fitting project: design two compositions using only the letterforms of Neue Haas Grotesque Bold and Stemple Garamond Roman. I found it interesting that each glyph became a sort of brush stroke to me. What a painter would consider paint was for me just everyday letters. I enjoyed the challenge this project presented. I got to think outside the glyph and create balanced compositions that felt like putting a puzzle together.
