Macbeth

The purpose of this typography project was to design a book jacket using three dimensional type and photography. We were encouraged to find metaphors for our imagery that encompassed the major themes of the text we chose. My book jacket for Shakespeare’s Macbeth. made the letters into puppets being manipulated by strings, with a stark shadow behind them representing the impending tragedies of the play.  

The letters are cut from black foam core and painted with metallic gold acrylic paint.
