The Letter You
THE POWER OF THE HANDWRITTEN WORD. The premise for this project was to give voice to someone or something that had none. Drawing inspiration from the history of letter writing that goes on in my family, I was moved to create a system where anyone who needed to have a voice, could. The website would allow people to connect anonymously through letter writing, and also act as a venue for shared experiences that could be uploaded publicly. Design inspiration was drawn from the exciting value that receiving a handwritten letter contains. The top of the page is an open envelope, so that the website acts as a letter receiving and reading itself. Different layers of backgrounds would be used in the final production to give an even more realistic connection to the experience. Letter-pressed illusions were given to the logo to give that special touch that someone might put into a special letter.
