LEGOtype

In this exercise, students were tasked with creating modular letterforms using Lego bricks, and then using the letterpress to print their designs. By designing letterforms using a modular approach (bricks), there was an opportunity to explore how individual parts could be combined and rearranged to create a range of different shapes and structures.

Using the letterpress added an extra layer of complexity to the exercise, as students had to consider how their designs would translate into the physical printed form. Additionally, students manually composed a small paragraph of text that would accompany their Lego letterforms. In this way, students were able to understand and develop their typographic sensitivity in a didactic and engaging way.
