Howl / typographic intervention

_The project investigates how experimental typography can be applied to poetic texts.
  Exploration starts from type measurement,
  spatial intervals and proportions in the changes of type shape,
  to the relationship between words and images.
 
_Howl has been chosen as it graphically and directly expresses Allen Ginsberg's consciousness.
  This poem reflects the scope of natural human emotion,
  thus having the ability to express a myriad of feelings through the exploration of one given text with extensive       natural typographic interventions.
 
_The design consideration is showed through visual hierarchy and textual rhythms.
  The debate is regarding which is better:
  natural or digital design?

_How can typographic design enhance the reader’s experience by intervening in poetic texts?
 
_Extract: _Howl
  Material: _Carbon / Plastics  / Wood Pulp Paper etc. 
  Tool: _Scanner / Typewriter / Sewing Machine etc.
