Living in the shadows. Many children during the second world war were forced to hide for their lives, in dark confined spaces and remain extremely quiet, sometimes for months. My fontstruct typography 'scattered light' was created as part of a design brief given by UWE bristol, the theme followed the word shadow, and thought out the development of the font i looked at the light and shadows created as well as the rays or holes of light that would make it through small gaps. This was sometimes all the light they would see. I've tried to replicate this and take further inspiration from the decayed walls photographed after the war. The font is white on a black background, to symbolize the shadows/darkness they lived in. The font resembles scattered light and decayed surfaces from that period in time.

Recently I saw a photo of a tiger hiding in grass. It had a tree branch above its head and I suddenly saw the letter "T" ... It inspired me to make a basic hidden alphabet, and as things are often hidden in boxes I decided to hide my letters in boxes in such a way that they were visibly hidden like the tiger in the grass.

Based on the old Masonic style of coding, this font has taken it a step further and used Latin style letters that were most closely related to the Masonic symbols used in their alleged encryptions.

I created this font based on the theme 'introverted'. I decided to use a bold and large typeface as a base to represent the ideas and words that form in introverts, but often go unseen or unheard. Running through this is a box, which always links into the next character unless there is a space, which contains a much smaller more simple version of the letter. This is what introverts do let out to the surface and is often not a full representation of the ideas behind it. I would compare it to the idea of an iceberg where the smaller letter is the ten percent that we do see and the larger letter behind is what we don't see.
