Lettering Self Portrait

  • Mairi Brascoupe
During the Graphic Design Portfolio Course at Central Saint Martins, we were asked to create a self portrait that gave an insight into both who we are personally, as well as who we are as designers. I designed a series of drop caps, where each letter corresponds with a facet of my life and which is also reflected in the design of the letter itself. For example, R stands for rhythmic because I was a rhythmic gymnast for many years, and that was interpreted as a ribbon. They were all brought together into a single poster, along with individual postcards.
