“I hope to be ridiculous until the day I die” – Oded Ezer.
The interview on typeradio.org with Oded Ezer, left me much clearer in what I want to get out of design. He’s so enthusiastic and passionate about his work, and answered all questions with consideration and expressively.

The quotation above is one that caught my attention. He says if you’re ridiculous in all the work that you do, then it means that you have tried something new and continue to surprise yourself in what you can do. It’s a motivating quote that makes me think better of the work that I can and will produce; all I have to do is put everything into it whether the outcome be ‘ridiculous’ or not. The moral is that at least I have tried.

I aim to continue a theme of ridiculousness into my own project in creating a magazine like spread of the interview of Oded Ezer with the main focus being typography. In doing so I need to explore to ridiculous side to typography, much like Oded Ezer said in the interview:

“What can typography do for us”
Rather than defining what typography is.

But what is ridiculous when it comes to typography?

Is it abstract text? Or type that cannot be used for a purpose. About is an example of interesting type continuing my theme of research. Typography that has no boundries.
