Type as design

One of the personal projects I’ve wanted to do for a while is a typography-based poster. Playing around with the idea that communication is a two-way street (communicator and recipient), it seemed like it would be a good candidate for a typographic attempt.
Just in case the words aren’t legible at this size, the road and dividing lines are made up of the repeating five words: ideas, imagery, thoughts, opinions, and feelings, which I thought comprises the majority of what we try to communicate, both verbally and non-verbally. The use of the different fonts (over 100) drives home the idea that there are more than one opinion, more than one idea, thought, etc.
I’ll probably keep polishing this, then see what it looks like in a large-format printout. It may look good on the office wall.
