The Design
About Literkolekcja Fotollibre
Literkolekcja és un fotollibre que documenta l'expressió lletrística en l'espai públic, incloent-hi el lletrejat, la tipografia i la cal·ligrafia. Les fotografies es van fer al llarg d'una dècada en moltes parts del món, principalment amb un telèfon mòbil, i es mantenen deliberadament crues, sense estètica artificial. A la coberta, un índex travessa el llom i s'estén més enllà del sagnat. Els textos reprodueixen les inscripcions de les fotografies amb tots els errors. La composició tipogràfica és deliberadament irregular, reflectint les imperfeccions de les lletres mostrades. L'enquadernació suïssa permet que l'àlbum quedi pla en obrir-lo.

- Production Technology
- The Swiss binding allows the album to be laid out flat, which facilitates the reception of photographs.
- Research
- Another aspect of the project is the desire to share the documented forms of character-letters in different cultures of the world - to inspire students of art and graphic design and typeface designers who, perhaps under the influence of photos, will create new typefaces.
- Inspiration
- "Litercollection" is a project presenting various manifestations of letter expression in public space: lettering, typography and calligraphy: from street signs, "street art" and street art, through typeface design and typography in industrial design, advertising and visual identification, to art based on on the letter (e.g. lettering installations) and calligraphy in various forms of expression.
The project is based on own photographic documentation made over the last decade, mainly using a mobile phone, in various places around the world and in various natural circumstances.
The photographs are deliberately raw in expression, without artificial aesthetics.
The constantly growing collection of photographic documentation currently includes about 800 photos taken in various parts of the world. Examples of lettering come mainly from Poland and Europe, but also from Arab countries. The author documents all manifestations of typography in various cultures of the world - from professional graphic designs to random combinations. The photos themselves and properly juxtaposed create a story, a narrative. - Project Duration
