Not My Type

Not My Type / press kit

Description

Set in an office, the Not My Type series explores the various relationships within.
While avoiding the use of language and dialogue, Not My Type, takes various typographic faces, symbols and characters and then duplicates, distorts and moves them to create a simple, stylistic production.
The Not My Type series continues to be created for online viewing and distribution. http://www.lycettebros.com/notmytype/
