TARNISH THROUGH TYPOGRAPHY


2023 - PUBLICATION
Supervised by: Ariel Aguilera

Tarnish Through Typography is an editorial publication exploring the derelict side of Richmond and the marks people leave behind.

The publication follows a protagonist moving through the suburb, gradually becoming consumed by the need to leave their own mark by tagging a wall. An observer appears throughout the publication, documenting the time and events from the bottom corner of each page, reflecting my own experience of exploring Richmond during the project.

Typography and mark-making are central to the publication, using graffiti, rubbish and overcrowding to explore how human behaviour can alter a suburb with such a rich history.
