Typography 1 – Onomatopoeia

Typography Onomatopeia

The black and white color scheme help to highlight the two major ideas expressed in this composition. The idea of motion and of flat text. The verb slurp implies motion so I wanted to incorporate the action into the piece to add variation. The goal was to alter a font based on an onomatopoeia, my approach was subtle with the transformation of the letter ‘L’ into a straw. A strong idea that did not alter the text to an illegible degree.
