Unusual You

Dare to Differ: experimental lettering and imagery around the eerie and unfamiliar.

Context
University project
My focus
Typography, image editing & motion
Tools
FontStruct, Firefly, Midjourney, Photoshop & After Effects

Finding a visual language

The university brief explored themes including the uncanny, dreamlike and unusual. I developed the phrase Dare to Differ through experimental letterforms and image treatments.

FontStruct supported the typography work. I explored treatments with Adobe Firefly and used Midjourney for generated imagery, then made edits in Photoshop and developed moving versions in After Effects.

Developing the lettering

I built the Dare to Differ lettering in FontStruct and explored variations with Adobe Firefly. These treatments show the slogan moving between block forms, texture and colour.

Unusual You — image-effects experiment

An experimental process

The project let me test how a phrase could hold its character across different treatments. The work combines original typography, generated imagery, editing and animation; each played a different part in the process.
