AESTHETICA 2023

An “AESTHETICA 2023” book cover with the use of illegibility in typography and contrasting photograph.

This is an AESTHETICA 2023 cover with unreadable typography and an image. Fares Micue, a self-taught Spanish photographer, took this shot of a woman with floating origami butterflies all around her (Fares Micue, 2021). A distorted Sans Serif typeface was utilised for the cover typography.

A shot from a stock was used to create this piece. The utilising letter symbol then outlined the word “AESTHETICA.” The letters were placed in the column and deformed with a white arrow after hitting ungroup. The letters were then regrouped and made white. The numbers “2023” were likewise twisted in the same way. At the right-hand side edge is a little BAFTA logo.
