PROJECT BRIEF
Alphabet Art Magazine is a visual exploration of letter photography, a creative practice that involves capturing objects, structures, and forms from everyday environments that naturally resemble alphabetic characters. This project was inspired by the idea that type exists all around us, waiting to be discovered through composition and perspective.
PROCESS
I photographed various locations, including Central Park in New York City, capturing architectural and organic elements that mimicked the shape of individual letters. These images were then edited in Adobe Photoshop and carefully curated into a multi-page magazine format using InDesign. Each spread discusses the concept of letter photography, the anatomy of type, and its impact on advertising and visual culture.
Created 'Alphabet Art Magazine' to explore how typography exists beyond the screen in the real world around us. This project challenged me to observe everyday surroundings with a designer’s eye, identifying natural shapes that resemble letterforms. It allowed me to sharpen my visual perception, deepen my understanding of type anatomy, and creatively merge photography with editorial design. Ultimately, it was a study in how design can emerge from observation, not just invention.
WHY?
I created the Alphabet Art Magazine to explore the relationship between typography and the physical world. This project was a personal challenge to step away from digital type tools and instead discover letterforms hidden in everyday environments. By capturing and curating these natural shapes, I aimed to train my eye for detail, enhance my understanding of type anatomy, and express how design can be both observational and intuitive. It was also an opportunity to blend photography, editorial layout, and typography into a single, story-driven publication.
IMPACT
This project allowed me to merge editorial design, type theory, and environmental photography into a cohesive publication. It sharpened my eye for composition and reinforced the idea that design inspiration can be found in the most unexpected places.
