Typography (LO2)
For typography my goal was to create some letterforms that would blend two terms into one. I had ideas about replicating the curvature of paths that earwigs run in; I also considered making the bodies of earwigs into letters or taking parts of their bodies to use as a basis of my font.
During the research stage, I came across an article about earwig facts and found one that was talking about their wings. Their wings are very unique and they don't follow the rules of origami when earwigs fold them. Because the method is different I decided to find letterforms within their wings and put them together into "unlawful origami".
In my first experiments, I tried to add parts and colours of their wings but it started to look too illustrative so I took a step back.
