Playful Type: Trypanophobia
A typography project in which I was given the task of creating a type piece based off any phobia, for this I chose Trypanophobia: The fear of needles, blood draws or injections.
I chose this phobia because I personally am very uncomfortable with needles (absolutely hate them) so felt like myself as a great target audience I could judge whether I'm making a good piece or not based on how uncomfortable I am with it. Though whilst making these pieces I progressively felt less uncomfortable with the project and so I needed friends who don't like needles to help me judge what works best.
The final piece I decided on was the one below with the skin and doted text, the rest of the design beneath that are the other experiments I tried.
