Ulysses - Molly Blooms Monologue
A competition brief set by the International Society of Typographic Designers that I was able to participate in. The brief was to take the provided extract of text and design a way to make it appealing engaging to an audience of my choice. The extract provided for competitors was the last line of the infamous Molly Bloom’s soliloquy, a 4,391 word sentence from the end of the James Joyce’s Ulysses, a novel renowned for its contemporary and modernist writing style.
Focusing on the theme of perspectives I made an editorial that would accompany an installation exhibit where the reader is forced to alter their perspectives to read the text. At the end of the exhibit there is a take away booklet that follows the same rules where the reader is forced to move the editorial around or see an example of visual perspective so they may see the full picture much like Joyce was attempting when he wrote Molly Bloom’s soliloquy.
