FYI ABOUT MY BOOK.....

Hey All!

About my book....It is called "Living Type" and the idea is to create type manually (without the use of a computer) in hopes of making our work more "human." I've included a quote on the front cover that will better explain the idea. I just wanted to add to the explanation I gave last night: Creating the type does not necessarily mean gluing material/objects on the page. Creating type without the use of a computer could be as simple as using crayons to write the letters. The Neenah paper that I used has an interesting texture to it that could lend itself to some interesting outcomes when drawn or colored on. And again, I am not limiting what your text will be. You can use a word, a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph. You can play off of eachother's entries or create a new idea - it's an open book!
