‘Everybody’ by Lucy Parris

“I knew I wanted to create a piece where the typography works as an image in itself, so I wanted to illustrate my thoughts and feelings on my chosen word, ‘everybody’.”

“My intention was to create a drawing that captured unity amongst the characters illustrated which are based on real people of different cultures, nationalities and religions. I wanted to send a fun yet positive message through the drawing. I hope that everyone is able to relate to my illustrated word in some way.

“I drew out the final word in ink and although I did sketch out a plan of how I wanted it to look I decided to draw the final one freehand as I wanted to keep the energy and freshness through out.”

“The typeface is based on a font called ‘Bauhaus 93’ the reason I chose this was because it was very rounded, and I wanted it to be easy on the eye and easy to read, fun and nothing too serious.”

 

‘Everybody’ by Lucy Parris will be displayed at Type Tasting with the London Design Festival 2013 at the V&A.
