School of Life Aphorisms
A set of screen printed aphorism cards in the aim to express emotion through typography. By using different typefaces and punctuation marks on each cards to explore which typeface best express a certain word.
Punctuation marks are an interesting typographic devices that can be both loud and silent. Most of the time, people don’t pay attention to them, but they have the ability to change the entire meaning of a sentence. I tried to play with the geometric features of punctuation marks and used them to highlight the sentences and add a sense of playfulness into the design.
The cards are screen printed on a textured paper, using three different colours, orange, blue, and white. A bright orange is used for reader to identify the important word and message in the sentences.
