Death of a Centre

Create an experiential typographic intervention that asks audiences to re-engage in their local town (Barnsley). Consider how typography could reposition our understanding of place and space – inviting local dwellers and tourists to connect or reconnect with these spaces. You could use typography to celebrate local histories, explore narratives that led to the death of the centre, or consider how typographic practice could aid, inspire, rejuvenate or celebrate place and reconnect audiences with town and city centres. There is opportunity to experiment with wayfinding, information design, augmented reality, branding, supergraphics and beyond.
