36 Days of type meets accidentally wes Anderson 

This year I completed 36 days of type which was initially inspired by and the ‘Accidentally Wes Anderson’ book by Wally Koval.

One of the key characteristics of the AWA photos is their hyper-stylised symmetry but since the alphabet isn’t all symmetrical, I have simply focused on pastel coloured architecture. 

Each letter is hand crafted from paper and on average took about 7 hours to make so the whole project has taken roughly 250 hours in total (not including the photography and editing). Towards the end of this project, you can see a time-lapse video showing the making of one of  the letters.
