Anxiety in Typography Project
This project explores the overwhelming and often chaotic experience of anxiety through the power of type alone. By manipulating letterforms, spacing, and composition, the design embodies the tension, noise, and unease that accompany anxious feelings. The deliberate use of repetition, distortion, and scale captures the cyclical and consuming nature of anxious thoughts, transforming words into a visceral representation of the emotional state. To extend the concept beyond static design, I created mock-ups for a sweatshirt featuring the typography—wearable art that allows the design to resonate physically, like anxiety itself. Additionally, a GIF animation brings the type to life, amplifying the feeling of movement and unrest as the letters shift and vibrate, mirroring the sensation of anxiety's constant presence. This project combines conceptual storytelling and design, showcasing how typography can transcend its functional role to evoke emotion and create an impactful visual experience.
