an exercise in negative space
A typographical exercise in creating interesting areas of negative space using our names.
Using the typface Helvetica, I used the letters of my name to create two samples of interesting typography in which you first notice the shapes and then the letters. I explored the shapes of both upper and lower case to create two very different results.
The biggest challange was hand-drawing the letterforms in proportion to one another!
A couple of years later, I got the ham arais stack laser cut out of perspex.
