Foundation Studio - City In Flux - Research

I have done research in to different areas in relation to the city in flux brief, however I do feel drawn towards the typography aspect of design from looking at Pinterest ( view my board on typography on my Pinterest account). 

The idea of typography also relates well with the concept of being overloaded with information within a city and how you lose a sense of control. In terms of inspiration I looked work from various places; such as the work of designer David Carson.





















I'm interested in the way he overlaps his typography and in some cases he distorts the text and obscures the text by using texture and overlays. His work has been a major influence in my practice before I started this project as I've had a genuine interest in his work.
