36 Days of Type
36 Days of a Type is aproject that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of the letters and numbers of our alphabet.
I jumped on at the tail end, illustrating my interpretation of the numbers. To keep a consistent theme, I decided to have each number represent a decade, so 1 for 1920s and 2 for 1920s and so on. I then combined each number with one defining element of that particular decade.
What is your favourite decade?
1 for 1910s. Inspired by ‘Suprematism’ by Kazimir Malevich.
2 for 1920s. Inspired by Art Deco.
3 for 1930s. Inspired by ‘The Persistence of Memory’ by Salvador Dali.
