’36 days of type’ is a a project that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to interpret and create different letters and numbers from the alphabet. participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day and post their outcomes on instagram. valeria prada – who is art director at studio klang – responded to the brief by inventing a typographic series that incorporates architecture, beautiful women and ordinary mundane objects. the extravagant letter forms contain a hypnotising appearance revealing well known buildings including zaha hadid’s heydar aliyev center. the collages trace the silhouette of each individual character, through photomontages, neon colors and geometric shapes creating bizarre pop-art compositions.
