PAUL ELLIMAN:
Paul is an artist and designer based in London. His work combines an interest in typography and the human voice, often referring to forms of audio signage that mediate a relationship between both. His typeface Found Fount (aka Bits) is an ongoing collection of found ‘typography’ drawn from objects and industrial debris in which no letter-form is repeated. Elliman's work has addressed the instrumentalist of the human voice as a kind of typography, engaging the voice in many of its social and technological guises, as well as imitating other languages and sounds of the city included the non-verbal messages of emergency vehicle sirens, radio transmissions and the muted acoustics of architectural space.

HIS WORK:

 We also watched this video at the beginning of our type project. This video explores the whole history of typefaces. When watching it the first time it was interesting but hard to grasp all of the information. Watching it now, I picked up more details about this history of type. Like how most of the beginning typefaces were developed and edited to benefit the legibility of it. And how during the second industrial revolution advertising created a need for new type faces to be used in large sizes for posters and billboards. This is where Egyptian, or slab serif, came from which are usually used for titles. It's also important to realize how the creation of the computer completely changed the typography world. Now anyone has the freedom to create their own unique typeface. This video is a quick and easy way to view the history of typography in an interesting way.

While my designer, Otl Aicher, isn't included in the movie "Helvetica" it was still interesting to see just how powerful this type face has been and to hear other type designers talk about this revolutionary font. I had not seen the film before, and it gave me a new perspective on the typeface.
