This project holds a very special place in my heart, as it was the first one I ever created that truly introduced me to typography and communication design. Coming from a background in fine arts, I always believed that color was what brought life and meaning to an image — that it was essential for distinction and emphasis. But this project completely shifted that perspective.
Being restricted to only black and white was a real challenge at first, especially when I knew little about fonts or typography. Through constant drafting and iteration, however, I began to appreciate the beauty of simplicity — how structure, spacing, and balance could speak just as loudly as color. Cropped Letter helped me discover my love for type, grids, letterforms, and the subtle art of space
I created a total of sixteen patterns using just black and white. In an attempt to produce aesthetically pleasing patterns that were either responsive or synchronized to achieve a characteristic appeal, I used a variety of strokes and contours. These designs were completed in two weeks, and despite their apparent simplicity, they truly tested my ability to be creative to produce intricate patterns.
I even attempted to depict motion in certain patterns by showing movement and the appearance and disappearance of alphanumeric characters. I attempted to mimic old Sanskrit characters. One of these designs is a combination of four alphabets per character.
FONTS USED WERE- CLAREDON, BODONI, HELVETICA BOLD AND ADOBE CARLSON REGULAR.
SPECIAL DETAILS
Using sixteen alphabets in a square grid, I attempted to create the word HOME. I used the font Helvetica Bold to combine different parts of the alphabet. Each alphabet is made out of four different letters; for example, the alphabet H is created out of R, L, W, and N.
The idea of creating alphabets inspired me to explore ancient symbols — something unique and traditional. Drawing from this thought, I combined modern letterforms to recreate Sanskrit characters from The Bhagavad Gita, a sacred text that serves as a guiding tool in Indian culture.
