BLURRING LINES

I have been considering expanding my current working images to incorporate typographic elements in order to merge the two as a representation of the inherent similarities present in the nature of the theories and working mindset of the two.

I'm also interested in how cultural/art movements are reflected in both arenas. The Bauhaus; stripped back functional buildings, alongside simplified sans serif typefaces. The corporate culture of New York in the 60's paralleled by Helvetica's prolific use. in the 30's when the Empire State Building was erected, a series of tall slim typefaces succeeded it.

My next move is to explore this relationship and parallel existence and interplay between the two.
