About a year ago I went to a chat thing with these two guys who have made up a little collective called 'telegramme'. They were cool and all laid back and nice and stuff and gave some very good advice for budding arty people.
Quoted from their website they "draw, design, screen print, make patterns, collect stamps, post letters, raid skips and are mixing ink most of the time."
The work i've seen has mainly been screen prints. I really like it. It gives the whole authentic rustic look to the piece, and makes it very bold.
My aim for the book project is to go around interviewing the locals of Leeds. Trying to find the 'born and bred' Loiners, and then the people who have come to Leeds from other parts of the world and UK. And then recording that interview so I can listen back on their accents.
From that recording I am then going to try and illustrate their accents with typography. If this all goes to plan.
I'm really keen on trying to use screenprinting as a means of producing the typography.
I'm going to look at "telegramme" a lot as they work a lot with type too, and their work is very similar to the idea in my head that I want my book to look like.
