The Design
About A Garden for All Typedesign
Dette projekt er et uddannelsesprojekt. Det var en opgave i typografidesign givet til universitetsstuderende fra School of Art, Design and Media, NTU, Singapore. Opgaven gik ud på, at hver studerende skulle designe initialer som en skrifttypefamilie. Resultatet var flere skrifttypefamilier skabt af studerende og inspireret af floraen, faunaen og de unikke kendetegn ved Singapore Botanic Gardens. På denne baggrund blev de bedste initialer trykt i bogen A Garden For All, udgivet af forlaget Epigram Books i Singapore.
