Respect Every Body 2014
three panel digital print
80 x 210cm each

Here is the final outcome of my recent work that will be shipped over to Crane Arts in Philadelphia for the Design in Flux exhibition in October. In person, I’m hoping it will be a visually imposing work in the space due to the size and vibrancy of the colours. When displayed at the show it will be over 2m high and 2m wide, which I’m excited about. The work was all generated in RGB gamut colours too, so when it was printed with Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks (using the large format printers at Liveimage) it really pops. The outcome features stencil spray painted, hand drawn and computer generated letterforms.

The slogan ‘Respect Every Body’ is from an Australian Government education program of the same name. I felt the slogan itself was great, but the way it was used… not so much.

I used the opportunity to test out and further explore some of the type experiments I have been tinkering with the last few months. Now that is is complete I feel some of the experiments worked better than others. I’ll try to find the time to write further about this once the exhibition is over.

Edit: I have written a reflection on the process and outcome here.
