About Literkolekcja Leabhar Grianghraf

Is leabhar grianghraf é Literkolekcja a dhéanann doiciméadú ar léiriú litreacha i spás poiblí, lena n-áirítear litreoireacht, clódhearadh agus peannaireacht. Tógadh na grianghraif thar breis is deich mbliana in go leor áiteanna ar fud an domhain, den chuid is mó le fón póca, agus fágtar iad d'aon ghnó amh, gan aeistéitic shaorga. Ar an gclúdach, ritheann clár ábhair tríd an droim leabhair agus síneann sé thar an bhfuilliú. Atáirgeann na téacsanna na scríbhinní ar na grianghraif lena n-earráidí go léir. Tá an clóchur neamhrialta d'aon ghnó, ag léiriú na neamhfhoirfeachtaí sna litreacha a thaispeántar. Ligeann an ceangal Eilvéiseach don albam luí go cothrom.

Unique Properties: On the cover there is a table of contents passing through the spine and extending beyond the bleed. The texts reproduce the inscriptions on the photos with all errors. The text is also deliberately agitated, which reflects the nature of the imperfections of the typography of the photos.

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.
