About this piece...

Prompt: Pick a passage of text and carefully choose a typeface to represent it. Then create a visually interesting type specimen poster using the chosen text and typeface.

Created in: ART. Typography 2 at University of Tennessee - Chattanooga.

My notes: This type specimen poster was so much fun! I got to use a passage from one of my favorite horror novels, IT by Stephen King. I chose the passage where Georgie is talking about going into his basement and how he believes there is an "IT" waiting for him. I wanted this poster to feel like it was coming from Georgie himself. That this is what the scary basement felt like to this unlucky 6-year-old boy.
