Expressive Type

For blog post 7, I chose a poster that conveys an abstract form of expressive type. The quote “All things are delicately interconnected” is spread across the page and the letters are grouped purposefully so the visual matches the message. The letters are held together by blue intersecting lines that run through the whole sentence, disorienting the viewer at first glance. Once you start to figure out what the quote says, we can see how the blue lines guide our eye to help us make sense of the letters. Also, the way that they are non-uniformly grouped also represents that things that are delicately interconnected do not always have to be neat and organized. This piece makes the viewer feel the interconnection within themselves that the artist is trying to portray through expressive type.
