Type as Metphor 1984

Finally finished with my "Type as Metaphor" project.
We had to take a piece of literature and create a 4 page series representing the themes in the book through typography. One panel uses paragraphs/sentences/phrases, one uses words, one uses syllables, and one uses letters.

I chose 1984. I hope I represented it well. I kind of ended up going with a Russian Constructivist kind-of vibe which is not anywhere near where I started with. If you haven't read this book you should!


This page represents The Party's slogan which is everywhere and in this piece it is essentially over-powering the people who are all brainwashed into reciting this slogan as truth. I used straight ongoing bland lines of text to represent the mind-less, emotion-less people The Party has brainwashed. There is however one who deviates from the masses and as you can tell it does not go over so well with The Party.
