Typographic Wall - Staffordshire University

.

I was commissioned by Staffordshire University to design a type-based wall design to be displayed in the SAMIAC (Staffordshire Advanced Materials Incubation and Accelerator Centre) located in their Innovation Enterprise Zone. 

The design is inspired by Lou Dorfsman's 'Gastrotypographicalassemblage'. The wall features white type on a white background, with supporting images of items related to the contents of the wall. It contains words, phrases, and quotes related to food and drink, the university's values, innovation, and the city of Stoke-on-Trent. As Michelin Tyres UK Headquarters is based in Stoke-on-Trent, the wall also features Michelin's VISION tyre concept which, when scanned with the Artivive App, plays one of their videos. 



The finished design, installed in the kitchen in Staffordshire University's Innovation Enterprise Zone.

The design in the top right corner reading 'Because this is a place we 
where stand strong together' was created by Jim Williams, who kindly let me 
include his design as part of the wall. 

If you like this project please consider giving it a thumbs up.
Thank you for viewing :)
