This digital editorial layout was an experiment in using type as image. The features in the modern serif typeface Austin presented a number of varying and exaggerated weights, shapes, and forms that were useful in conveying abstract illustration. By using the variety of negative and positive spaces this typeface provided, I felt I was able to convey and reinforce the message from the author by blurring the boundaries between the symbology and formal presence of these letter forms. In regard to color, I chose this pink and indigo dichotomy both for its vibrance and its contrast so I could provide something eye-catching while also granting myself more leeway in combining letters to make new shapes and forms.
