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.

This is an original image Exit Velocity.22 Postcard with scream typography. The original photograph of a Duke Castle on the front of the postcard was taken during my summer vacation in Lithuania. The back of the postcard features a photograph of the Graduate School building with screaming black writing.

Paper was halved and two pictures were imported to create this piece. The typography was handwritten to ensure that the typeface was accurate.

This is a Cottingham Music Festival poster that was inspired by Paula Scher’s typography arrangement and Aleksander Rodchenko’s use of megaphones to create triangle compositions, as well as the three-color palette utilised in most Russian posters. The design, however, does not have a perfect layout; an adjustment was done below.

Although the change wasn’t as precise as it should have been, the poster was improved once more. This time, though, the banner will feature a star made up of words and other names arranged in a music throthy. The colour palette for the entire poster will be blue. Sans-Serif and Trebuchet MS were utilised in the poster’s typography.
