TemptingTypography

During the Graphic Design Festival Breda, Studio AIRPORT held a workshop called 'Tempting Typography'. This three-day-long workshop was based on window-typography.

Every participant joined a retailer on the St.Annastraat. On the basis of an assignment, the participants designed to reach a result which had to qualify and be able to stay on the shopping windows for a longer period of time.
The end result is a beautiful street with extraordinary handwritten window-typography.

Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues - A HAND LETTERING EXPERIENCE

IF YOU WANNA SEE ALL THE PAGES AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE PROCESS VISIT

I´ve been thinking for a lot of time on doing a personal project where I could get out of the computer for a little bit, and have pleasure doing something handmade. Getting back to the basics.
Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, I decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. I ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did.
There are 66 cards done in one month during my spare time using only pencil, black tint pens and brushes. The challenge was not to use the computer, no retouching was allowed. Getting a letter wrong meant starting the page over.
I had a lot of fun doing this project, researching, practicing and getting deeper on typography.
There are some intentional misspellings and puns on the original song video, so I tried to keep that in a certain way.
