Seeing Red is a book design and typographic exploration for a collection of literature, studies and interviews which explore the historical, genetic and cultural significance of red hair.
Year
2022
Brief
To design a book that analyses and takes typographic inspiration from a specific colour: in this case the colour I chose was ginger (the hair colour).
About
Seeing Red's type illustrations mimic hair textures and diverse genetic identities of red-haired people from the profiles of ginger sperm and egg donors (images by Marina Rosso). The book takes type inspiration from interview transcripts and collections of documentation, with interventions of strands of typographic hair.
