conceptual typography and graphic design |
| Amy Papaelias develops experimental typefaces that challenge the arbitrary relationship between verbal and visual communication. A variety of tools are utilized, including font-editing software, handwriting samples, voice recordings, post-structuralist theory, sociolinguistics and a Speak and Spell. The resulting fonts are visual representations of speech, making visible the differences and similarities of spoken and written language. This work has been recognized in the pages of Print and Communications Arts, and on many websites including Typographica, UnBeige and DesignObserver. Most recently, Amy spoke at TypeCon in Seattle, August 2007. An assistant professor of Graphic Design at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, Amy also maintains a freelance practice ranging from the design of cookbooks to websites. View Amy's Resume.
