TYPE BOOK
I AM A PARADOX
This was a typography project, the outcome for which had to be a book, highlighting any one quality about oneself through type.
The quality that the project was to be about was how ‘i am a Paradox’. Meaning, How I enjoy certain things and activities that to me are poles apart in nature, but continues being a part of me and my personality harmoniously.
This was communicated through a free verse.

FREE VERSE
An evening of listening to Pink Floyd,
Or of listening to Hardwell,
A day at the Four Fountains,
Or day’s of backpacks and harnesses,
A dinner at The Baluchi,
Or a take away meal from McDonald’s,
A night of drinking Bira White,
Or a cosy night reading Neil Gaiman,
I can do it all,
because i am a Paradox.
- The final book

So each line of the verse was placed on the object opposite to what it says.
For example, here, the line ‘or of listening to Hardwell’ is placed on and typed the way the iconic album of Pink Floyd called ‘The Wall’ was.
