Las Vegas \ Font design by Yanir Barazani and Elina Merbach
The project started from text about the city of Las Vegas. City of extremism, proliferation, dream and illusion. The city rests on a fiction mostly lighting so at night she looked more active, glamorous, attractive, beautiful and sensual . Artificial light, neon lights lighting gives a feeling infinite and loss of time - which directed us to the project - the starting point. Las Vegas is creating surreal - over reality. With floodlights impressive. If you take
down the luxurious setting, you discover the melancholy, loneliness, ugliness and emptiness.
In our work we have chosen to focus on illusion, fantasy, fiction, the world of unreal, surreal. City - alienation. We used Kitshim everyday materials such as glitter, sequins, brown sugar, sweets, Tulip, colored paper and so on . We created letters based on the font Ariel, just a daily use. We have created letters motion expressing this world, that is, " Dress " Ariel font and then something different, more interesting this apparel otherwise it remains bland and uninteresting font - like Las Vegas without lighting.
