About A Garden for All Disinn Tipografiku

Dan il-proġett huwa proġett edukattiv. Kien inkarig fuq id-Disinn Tipografiku mogħti lil studenti tal-edukazzjoni terzjarja mill-Iskola tal-Arti, Disinn u Midja, NTU, Singapore. L-inkarig kien li kull student jiddisinja Drop Caps bħala familja ta' fonts. Ir-riżultat kien diversi familji ta' fonts maħluqa mill-istudenti u ispirati mill-flora, fawna, u karatteristiċi uniċi tal-Ġnien Botaniku ta' Singapore. Minn dan, l-aħjar Drop Caps ġew stampati fil-ktieb A Garden For All, ippubblikat mid-dar editorjali Epigram Books f'Singapore.

Production Technology: This project originated as part of a teaching assignment in the course 'Typography III'. It is an industry oriented assignment whose outcome is the publishing of the produced typographical works, emulating a real design commissioned scenario. To this effect, a group of students from 'Typography III' course from the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM), were invited to collaborate with Epigram Books under the Creative Direction of Associate Professor Danne Ojeda. Students conducted field research in Singapore Botanic Gardens, after which they created original Drop Caps in the form of contemporary illustrated type designs for the book 'A Garden for All'.
Design Challenge: To find a unique design direction that will respond to the research abstract, to design and develop a coherent typographical system that carries the essence of the various features of the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
Research: To design Drop Caps typographic prototypes, that depict the variety and richness of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, flora, fauna, and any other relevant elements found in situ. This is Singapore First UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Inspiration: TYPOlogy is an educational project. It was an assignment on Typography Design given to tertiary education students from the School of Art, Design and Media, NTU, Singapore. The assignment was for each student to design DROP CAPS as a font family (See images and attached PDF). The outcome was multiple font families created by students and inspired by the flora, fauna, and unique features of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. From this, the best of the best DROP CAPS were printed in the book A GARDEN FOR ALL, published by the prestigious editorial Epigram Books in Singapore (See the last part of the PDF attached with the chapters of A GARDEN FOR ALL, with the original DROP CAPS designed for this book).
