New Punctuation Mark

The New Punctuation Mark brief was one I came across on Jonathan Barnbrook's website towards the beginning of the year.

The idea behind the brief was simple, to create a new punctuation mark and give it a meaning, and then to present your idea as a poster.

For my research I decided to make these little 'Guides to punctuation'

As you can see below, one for common and one for the uncommon punctuation marks that exist in our language. I felt this was a nicer way to present research than a sketchbook and gave me a chance to practice some bookbinding.

In the end, I made a series of 4 posters as I couldn't decide which I liked the best.

I printed the final pieces out on some lovely textured grey card from Fred Aldous.

Felt quite proud of this project once it'd been completed. Normally don't do just print based design because it tends not to be my strongest area but I was really happy with the results. I was particularly pleased with the turn around time of this project. Because it was the first of the year I didn't want to spend too long getting back into a rhythm so it was perfect.
