Typehype

During my years of meaningless designing : i.e. creating just to create, I quickly noticed that the infamous ‘kill your darlings’ principle can definitely be applied in multiple ways. When a design starts to take form, you should delete everything and start over. Like throwing the swept leaves back to their original spot on chore day in the fall season. I wanted to explore this principle by taking a relatively basic design, finish it and alter it to keep thinking about how the original could become. Therefore deleting the actual original; as if there was no original in the beginning. Like creating a platform, but there is no platform to begin with. This may sound abstract and vague, but the results speak for themselves. You may notice that a particular work in this serie is an original illustration. However, these works derive from the very basis which was altered and modified to create no beginning, just an end result. An end result that can shift again (and again and again…)
