Alphabet Blocks

One of my classes this semester is an independent study in typography, for which I’m going to make an alphabet block collection and six alphabet books.

I’ve chosen six different subjects (type, punctuation, textiles, apparel construction, artists, and authors) which I will represent using each letter of the alphabet. For instance, my list for punctuation is:

A:    ampersand
B:   brackets
C:  carat
D:    daggers
E:    em-dash
F:    full-stop
G:    glyph
H:    hyphen
I:   interrobang

etc…

So I’ll represent an ampersand through the letter “a.” I plan to hand render each of the letters and may choose to make them into simple vector images once I’ve completed the project.

Then I’d like to bind each book (and include copy written by Erik) and decoupage each version of every letter onto a different side of alphabet blocks.
