LYRICS AND TYPE
LYRICS AND TYPE: A TYPOGRAPHIC ZINE PROJECT
LAUNCHING 9 OCTOBER 2009
Wooden Toy in association with the good folks at Semi-Permanent and Design is Kinky (DiK) have invited 17 leading international typographers, designers and illustrators to graphically interpret a line of lyrics by famous (both past and present) singers, songwriters or bands through a combination of experimental type and illustration. Designed as a build up to the release of Wooden Toy Quarterly’s soon to be published 7th edition – the ‘Music’ issue (Oct/Nov 2009), LYRICS AND TYPE aims to document each artists personal views on the importance of music ‘vs’ influence and inspiration.
