dc.description.abstractMany people who are interested in the art of typography want to challenge the conventional understanding of type and express it in a distinctive way. This project examines the aesthetics behind the use of typefaces and typographic composition. The focus of this study is on investigating how the essence of a physical location can be communicated through the medium of typography and other figurative language. It explores this through a typographic representation of the Chinese city of Shanghai. It will draw upon Shanghai’s history and cultural values, and transform it into a distinctive letterform, then compound it with patterns and colours to illustrate the city through typographic expression. This project will be realised entirely with type, colour, texture, shape and abstract images.en
