Scope and Contents
According to Studley, this project is based upon the notion of the imaginary sizes, shapes, and forms of typography using lyrics of music as a basis for literature. Upon a selective listening of a chosen composition, each designer conceived of a typographic setting or framework into which the lyrics (or their fragmentary sound) would be displayed. The object was to portray typography as an extension of the spoken and sung word. Songs by the following are depicted in typographic presentations: 1) Eurhythmics: Sweet Dreams, 2) America, 3) Eddie Brickell: I quit, I give up, 4) Like a candle in the wind and 5) Pink Floyd: We're just 2 lost souls. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
