OBLIQUE STRATEGIES X A/a

Typographic Explorations

This project that takes Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's Oblique Strategies (1975), a deck of prompt cards meant to help musicians and artists overcome creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking, and applies it to creating letterforms. Each time, the same letter—uppercase or lowercase—is drawn in response to the card pulled.
