Typography Book

This book is a type study based off of 8 quotes from a novel titled More Than This written by Patrick Ness. For me, the ambiguity of it’s meaning made it one of those stories that you don’t quite understand until a couple of days later. So I took eight different quotes from the book and turned each of them into typographical conundrums. Compositional riddles so to speak.

“Life does not have to go how you think it will, Not even when you are very sure what is going to happen.”

“Real life is only ever just real life. Messy. What it means depends on how you look at it. The only thing you’ve got to do is find a way to live there.“
