Type Travel

People often talk of wanting a new perspective on things.

This usually means they want a holiday. But shifting our view on the stuff that surrounds us can be revealing.

Maybe not as much as skinny dipping in the Bahamas, but enough for you to at least appreciate the beauty right where you are.

Over a couple of weeks I decided to carefully observe and capture letterforms in my daily experience, from old photocopies, used train tickets and signage to discarded cassette recorders and parking meters.

The amount of inspiration out there is surprising. It became difficult to walk down the street without stopping to admire the hidden gems.

This continued until it got to the point where I stopped needing to search – the type started finding me.

So next time you’re bored with your surroundings try shifting your focus to take in the subtle and not so subtle beauty in the day-to-day.

It really can change your perspective on the world.
