ABOUT

Every year, 36 Days Of Type (@36daysoftype on Instagram) challenges creatives to take part in a typography challenge on social media. The challenge entails creating a different letterform or number each day, working your way through from A-Z and 0-9. The type forms can be completed in any media and method you desire and I chose to challenge myself to produce characters in a wide variety of styles each day. As this was my first year taking part, I wanted to experiment and not put any pressure on myself to create a harmonious look and feel. As a starting point, I decided to create a prompt based on each letter as I worked through it and used that to inspire where the design went. By the end of the 36 days, my Instagram feed was a kaleidoscope of different textures, colours, illustrations and executions.
