Recycle

Typography

This is a font design project. I was inspired by the garbage classification policy implemented in Shanghai in 2019. Therefore, I hope that everyone will correctly treat the garbage problem and face the seriousness of environmental protection issues.

The project was planned afier I saw the work "Clean it, beach" of artist Daphne Milner and the PES's "marine plastic pollu-tion". They used the rubbish left on the beach, and wanted to show people the pollution of marine nowadays and the harm to marine life. So, I spent a lot of time collecting various kinds of garbage in my life, and then conducted the three-dimensional deconstruction to reconstitute my font design.

At the beginning, I faced several problems like how I can form fonts and make sense by those garbage waste. In order to better express my idea to audience, I redesigned the meaning of 26 letters after deconstruction and reorganization. For example, R is for recycle, T is for trash and then I applied them to the poster.
