harlem night song

here's something i put together in a typography course taught by the wonderful catherine dixon that i took during summer at central saint martins

it's a poem about two lovers that roam the streets and roof-tops of harlem together at night and only ever stop to say 'i love you'. here's my attempt at visually interpreting it in a way that the text mimics the actions of the two lovers - climbing from roof-top to roof-top, running, catching up with each other etc. etc.

this was done by hand with graphite on layout paper and i've now made an attempt at digitalising it with photoshop since the scan looked too rough, which is why some of the text is a little askew etc. but i  really need to be done with this thing!

much love,
