About A Garden for All 字体设计

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'.

The assignment was for each student to design DROP CAPS as a font family (See images and attached PDF).

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).
