A World In Words

Researching Langauge In Social Context as a broad subject my next brief was to created a short creative publication based on my research. When researching Language within social context i came across animal and insect communication and found myself very interested in how ants communicate by leaving each other chemical messages and how there are much like humans in that they wage war agaist one another ect. Thinking about how ants work i began some research in how i could use typography to reflect this. These are a few pictures i found on the internet whilst researching highlighting ant behaviour.
is also a publication i looked into

Next i started researching typography which i feel reflect this. Here are just a few pieces that i found whilst researching on various websites. I used words such as flowing typography, following typography, bitty typography, as i felt these word descibed ant movement the most effectivly.


After This i went into my own design work. I decided to keep to blacks and greys and use no imagery so i can the strongest feeling of ant communication throught typography alone, my publication is solely going to rely on typography. Each page leads onto the next in that the sentence or word each page ends with is not the full stop but carries onto the next page this is to hightlight the fact that ants follow each other. Something i thought about a lot wile doing this was how

 'when were in a plane, looking down on the world, the world looks like tiny ants'

i wanted to reflect this thought and how the size of ants relate to us.
