V&A
London
A year ago with the LDF at the V&A
For the London Design Festival a year ago, Type Tasting posed the question “what’s your creative London?”. Stunning words were created for the exhibition by a wide range of designers and non designers of all ages and from around the world. We were delighted that Ralph Steadman and Alan Kitching created words in their own inimitable styles. All of the words were displayed at the V&A.

The different treatments of the word ‘human’ alter its meaning interestingly, adding depth, twists or make a comment about human behaviour. What do the reinterpretations mean to you?
