Typography Practice
The brief was to take a current issue – large or small – and create a campaign of protest. I chose BLACK LIVES MATTER (BLM), dedicated to fighting racism and anti-Black violence, especially in the form of police brutality. I designed this for youth of any race, to be aware of what is happening and to prevent this from happening in the future. I chose Futura, a geometric sans-serif typeface, as it has so many choices in terms of weight. It is modern, can be condensed or rounded, and it helped me to communicate my message on different pages. I used the colour red to symbolise blood, and Black for black people. I used type to talk, and mixed photography to reinforce the meaning of the content.
