Project: In A Word: Experimental Typography
Date: Fall 2008

With Joe Duffy as my design mentor, the theme of the project was developed on idea of experimental typography leading the design to take on elements of chemistry symbols. A hexagon was used as the base design, and carried through as a pattern through out the piece. Taking the layout project further into packaging, I created a hexagonal box containing the layout booklet and chemistry test tubes containing letters on various materials.
