I have just watched an amazing podcast from the 'It's Nice That' series, a talk by Sam Winston. Winston is inspired not only by the visual aspect of typography but more fundamentally by what the words true meanings are. He picks apart stories, for example 'Beauty and the Beast' and threads them back together in ways that are visually beautfiul and allow the viewer to get envolved with the language in its most basic form.
Sam Winstonhas created a Dictionary story where each word of the narrative is followed by its definition, and these definitions then begin to move around the page becoming entangled and flowing amongst each other. In his research for this book he discovered a room that was filled with all the words that were not put in the dictionary. It is such a lovely image to think that when we do not have the words to fully express ourselves that maybe those words are in this room.
