OUGD203: Postcards - A typographic wonderland...

I have decided to base my Postcards from the Edge brief on Alice in Wonderland, and the characters in the stories. I started by investigating the characters, trying to get a feel for how to represent each one. Initially I wanted to create collage effect, using illustrations, photographs and embellishments.

I think that hand drawn type, and illustrative elements will help to give the words expression and meaning. The images below are my initial ideas for some of the quotes that I have found in the stories:
