About Literkolekcja Fotolib

Tèks Liv la: Literkolekcja se yon fotolib ki dokimante ekspresyon lèt nan espas piblik, ki gen ladan lèt desine, tipografi ak kaligrafi. Foto yo te pran pandan plis pase dis ane nan anpil kote nan mond lan, sitou avèk yon telefòn mobil, epi yo rete brit espre, san estetik atifisyèl. Sou kouvèti a, yon tab de matyè pase nan do liv la epi li pwolonje pi lwen pase bòdi a. Tèks yo reprodui enskripsyon ki sou foto yo avèk tout erè yo. Mizanpaj la iregilye espre, sa ki reflete enpèfeksyon lèt yo montre yo. Byndaj Swis la pèmèt albòm nan rete plat lè li louvri.

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.
