Font
A Photo Essay: by Alexa Arcamone and Tori O'Sullivan
Theme: Fonts
Subtheme: Society's texual portrayl
Our digital project represents our interest in the way words are captured and portrayed throughout society. We believe that text has the ability to create a new dimension of expression, demonstrating a sense of visual diversity. The way that font is projected helps develop a sense of presence and meaning for various text. We felt we could capture and present these fonts through a myriad of photographic forms.
We attempted to such capture images of familiarity – the everyday aesthetics commonly disregarded within society, such as an informative sign or the nonchalant writings of the every day person. Clearly, the font and words captured are pervasive within everyday contemporary society, as depicted through our project. Overall, it represents the diverse portrayals of the written word and various facets of contemporary urban decay.
Our project demonstrates the photographic techniques of contrast and texture, coupled with interesting angles of perspective in displaying various examples of the written language. These techniques are employed in order to convey our thematic concern of font and its varied dissemination within our contemporary society. We feel the accompanying choice of sound track furthers the reflective mood of our work and encourages audiences to ponder on the way through which society encourages the diversity of textual expression.
