// Tactile Typography: Experiment_2
// When I was thinking about how to make the type that reflects on the whole “humour” idea, I started to think, what makes people laugh? Then I suddenly remember, everyone laugh when they are tickled. The feeling of being tickled is something that everyone can relate to. So I decided to use the factors of “being tickled” and use it as part of the typography experiments. I went to the direction of things that make people tickle, things such as: brushes, feathers, pens, toothbrush. The idea of being poked and to be tickled by poking. Hence you can see the use of things which are sharp, pointed and can be seen as it you can step on them.
