New York City is already diverse in its culture. But what is culture? How broad could the term “culture” be defined? No one would think of typography as a subsection of the dissimilar cultures in New York City, and this is why I chose it. Typography comes in all different shapes and forms; I figured Serif, Sans Serif, and all the rest should be considered as distinctive cultures.
Typography in itself involves the selection of various aspects, such as: typefaces, point size, line length, and spacing between letters. And where else would perfect examples of the diversity in the art of typography be but on storefronts all around New York City.
My Collage Project therefore focuses on multiple typographic designs found all over the Big Apple. To make things interesting, my collage is on Prezi and each frame zooms into a letter of the alphabet, each with an example of a word that begins with that letter. I faced some minor challenges in choosing one picture over another of two different examples, because they both display amazing artwork. In the end, I had to go with the more unique one.
nice original idea for your collage!
