Spatial Typography

As my space is the AUCB Library, I took some time to go and photograph areas of the library that I thought I could possibily hide the typography. However in doing this, i was struggling to come up with any ideas of how to put physical type into the space. Instead I thought of what elements of the library could I use instead, and of couse – the books! Within using the books in someway, I had a way of concealing a secret in the space. An un-read book holds secrets, because no knows of them yet…it turned out to be a perfect idea to use a book to contain the secret type. I brainstormed how to put the typography into the book and thought of two ways; either I embellish the word inside the book by creating something like pop up font, letters that reveal when you open the page or I can cut into the book, and remove parts in order to create the type.
