redesigning forms
02 / 2022
graphic
I was always intrigued by official documents from the old times — metal type printing, multiple typefaces, thoughtful layout and collectible quality. Then, there comes Microsoft Word. Everything changes to putting as much information (screaming in our faces) as possible. Digital efficiency somehow kills the beauty of those papers that are meant to hold in hands. Here are some of my attempts to make official forms to be a bit more enjoyable :)
