In an interview with the designer/educator Edward Fella, a Cranbrook
graduate, he reveals how deconstruction manifested itself in his design work: “irregularity is
rigorously thought out, based loosely on deconstruction. If deconstruction is a way of exposing
the glue that holds together western culture, I thought 'what is it that hold together typography?
It's space' ... So the idea was simply to play with that little bit of space and see if you had a bit
of room to maneuver with that glue that holds it all together”.23 In Fella's work we see the
conventions of legibility ignored with wild, irregular compositions that turn out to be surprisingly
readable. Fella has suggested that the search for perfect letter-, word-, and line-spacing has led to
the stifling of typographic expression. |
