Our Graphic Design professor give us a task: graphically interpret some Wittgenstein's aphorisms, using only Typography:
-"Il bianco è anche una specie di nero"
(="White is also a kind of black")
(="White is also a kind of black")
The concept is clear: I merged White ("Bianco") and Black ("Nero") each other, also exploiting the negative space to create some letters, to give an idea of deep connection between the two colors (and, philosophically, between the two parts of the Human Nature).
-"Le parole sono azioni"
(="Words are actions")
(="Words are actions")
Wittgenstein said that WORDS are ACTIONS, and what's the best way to convey an action? In my opinion, is a VERB. So I decided to interpret this aphorism writing a verb, "DISCRIMINARE" (=Discriminate), and simply color and moving the final letter, to give the idea of Discrimination.
Too simple? Less is more...
-"Qualsiasi cosa che può essere detta, può essere detta in modo chiaro"
(="Everything that can be said, can be said clearly")
(="Everything that can be said, can be said clearly")
In this work I wanted to give an idea of "movement": from a situation of chaos, where letters can't be distinguished and read, to a completely clear (and full of space) state.
