BRIEF TITLE Raw Type Part 1 The Brief Considerations Create a typeface in response to a given theme of either time, sound, light or photography. Concept/Proposition Sound

What is sound? How can this idea be given substance and more importantly how can the visuals be sustained over a wealth of typographic forms? Literal or subtle? Does the typeface have to be strictly bound within the stereotypical forms of individual character design? Does the typeface event need to be readable? What types of sound are there and which and how many of this sounds can be communicated Is the design more to do with where the sound comes from? How can the range of the brief be expanded into glyphs and numbers?
