Letters of Spetses

Description 
The project focused on Greek letters, calligraphy and type design. During the two weeks in Spetses, we explored all the letters we found on the island and the techniques used in their creation, from spontaneous hand painted fish market signs to cafés with letter shaped rope signs. We found inspiration and used it in our own lettering design. Through our concept development we chose words that derived from our impressions of the island and at the same time have a meaning to each of us. Our boards with Greek words represent what Spetses means to us and what we want to remember/ to be remembered. The second part of our project is a moving mural to be placed in public playgrounds. It says “παίζω”, or “play”. The idea of the message is to remind the children to never stop playing and to never stop letting out their creativity. *None of the participants speak the Greek language!
