Regarding Nouns: Foot
The purpose is to think laterally, to think beyond the obvious. It is encouraged that syballism, relationship, action, intention, purpose, etc are all explored throughout this project. Color is utilized to aid in telling a story. Analog craft is carried out, with a strong focus on the process of printing- both mechanical as well as block printing. Binding is also explored in this piece.
The result is a compelling 35 page hand-bound booklet, with the only type being a single letterform block printed onto the cover and attribution on the back.
