“Clean”
2023
In my Typographic Systems course, I was assigned to create a series of 4 posters where only type was used, each poster had its restrictions as well: the first could only use sentences and paragraphs, the second could only use words and short phrases, the third could only use syllables, and the fourth was to use individual letterforms to create an image. I was inspired by the song “Clean” by Taylor Swift, I chose a soft color scheme inspired by the album artwork, and the type used is the same typeface that was used for the album booklet for “1989”. For the first one, I used various speeches she would give before performing this song to recreate the album artwork (I also found a font online that recreated her handwriting. For the second poster, I chose to separate the action statements from the objects and arrange them in a poetic style. The third poster breaks down the syllables of the word finally, and the last poster is using 0s to create rain, the main motif in the song.
