Exploration #13 Collecting Type






For my next exploration i decided to collect type.
I decided to collect type from all over; from books to signs on the street, to internet, to just random little papers i find. Here is a couple of collages i have placed together using the type I've collected. The first one is of a couple of road signs, writing, a magazine clip, a part of posters. The second one is of a few more signs, writing, book cover, and parts of a poster. The final one is of all the type I collected, road signs, bottles, magazine clip, book covers, and parts of posters.
