Redacted Reading – Type design research

To present our chosen text we have been instructed to recreate the body of text in a way that looks interesting and unusual typographically. Here I have researched ways in which type can look interesting on a page, using shapes, layout and even forms of redaction, which adds interest as it makes part of the work illegible. Layouts like this can be created in InDesign, which specialises in the creation of layouts and making type more interesting. I want to experiment with my chosen text before deciding on a final design to use as part of my redaction brief.

This research on redaction prompted me to experiment with type and layout using the text I have chosen for the redaction project.
