‘Stare death in the face’ and find out everything there is to know about it. Consider international, societal, scientific, religious, historical, statistical, cultural, literary and poetic touch-points within your research, before determining your approach. Design a publication that ‘visits death’ – a work that will inform and stimulate the intellect whilst pleasing the typographic designer’s eye.

 

We do not wish to be prescriptive but suggest that you avoid the ‘Hollywood Babylon’ celebrity exposé approach to the subject, and any sinister or darkly moribund sensibility. This should be an engaging, aesthetic, well-crafted work that is keenly aware of its intended target audience.

 

 

From the Divine Comedy I've looked into the first part of the poem, Inferno. Dante travels with his guide Virgil through the nine circles of Hell. Each circle has it's own punishment from the first level Limbo to the last Treachery. I've manipulated the definitions of these punishments in a typographic manner.

Thank you.
