The process<br />
Upon returning home from the fieldtrip, I made edits to the images<br />
to push the contrast (as we were doing it in B&W) and printed them<br />
out in a smaller size. I wanted to play with tearing up paper to<br />
make collages for a more gritty look.<br />
I tried noticing patterns but ended up amazed at how different many<br />
things are. And so I decided to classify them by the places I found<br />
them on, e.g. shop signboards, on the walls, etc.<br />
My intention was to show arab street as some sort of mystery you<br />
have to navigate through - you can be a local tourist, coming here<br />
to experience beauty that you may not understand. So I made a<br />
pop-up book, to give the viewer a glance into my little adventure at<br />
Arab Street.<br />
Thoughts on project<br />
This was extremely enjoyable for me, because I’ve been to Arab<br />
Street a couple of times trying to learn about the place through<br />
observation, but this time I’m trying it by observing the typography.<br />
It’s interesting because the variety of typography in and around Arab<br />
Street is incredibly eclectic.
