Experiments in Type Editorial Design

This project was about selecting a letter from the lowercase and uppercase alphabets and conducting various experiments. After exploring several letters, I finally chose the lowercase 'i'. The reason was that the long stem and the dot placed above it create an undeniably beautiful harmony. I believed that these two elements could provide a solid foundation for various experiments, so I continued the project with 'i'.

To expand the form of 'i', I tried to utilize as many objects around my house as possible, and at times, I even incorporated my body. Although there were some limitations in creating 40 images,
I still challenged myself to try different experiments while making sure the results didn’t overlap.
