fonts from run down and abandoned shops and buildings


While walking around Margate and looking at the vast amount of closed down shops and arcades I couldn’t help notice all of the old shop signs and the variety of different fonts and type faces and how unique they were. And while being a big fan of text as images and type faces was very much drawn to this. I decided to take photos of all of these signs and record some of them in my sketch book. From these type faces I began drawing up some poster designs and came up with the idea for making a poster that started of as the alphabet but the went of to spell dreamland and then finish off with the alphabet again. I decide to produce some screen prints of this as its is a method in which you can massively mass produce an image.
