No Harmony

Filippo Tommaso Emilio, a great poet and art theorist, once said, “My revolution is directed against the so-called typographical harmony of the page, which is contrary to the flux and reflux, the leaps and bursts of style that run through the page itself.” What Emilio meant by this is that he wanted to change typography from the formal and traditional style to something that is more complex and wild. For my graphic poster, I took his words and formed typography that mimics the destruction of the harmony. Typography is not always pleasant and delicate. Sometimes the best way to show the true meaning behind the art is to veer away from what is expected.
