Description
This is a design I made for a project at university.
The project was aimed at celebrating the 50th anniversary of the typeface Helvetica, by creating a hypothetical exhibition to take place at the Design Museum in London.
We were given free range to create whatever we wanted for this exhibition, so long as it involved Helvetica, and generating some public interest in the typeface (not exactly and easy thing to do!).
I came up with the idea of a 'type mirror', a live video feed connected to a computer, which would analyze the features of people walking past and generate a typographically based image of them, all using Helvetica.

This design is from an example poster I created for the exhibition, which I decided to name 'TypeFaces'.
