Type as image - Drawing as Practice

Faces//
>With this poster I wanted to communicate reflection of faces using the word faces. I laser cut the letterforms out of black acrylic hoping that the glossy reflective surface would work, which it did. The typeface is Franklin Gothic Heavy, I experimented with Frutiger Black but it wasn't thick enough to act as a mirror. I had to redo the piece again after I spilt glue and ended up ripping the paper of the mounting board that the letter are stuck to but it worked out in my favour as I changed the composition and placed the type higher up on the board, making it easier for the viewer to see their reflection.
