MISPRINTED TYPES-DIRTY,MESSY but IMPLICITLY BEAUTIFUL

Misprinted type includes misprinted font, misprinted portfolio, misprinted photo, misprinted drawing etc. Misprinted Type is the portfolio and work of Eduardo Recife (Brazilian). The concept “misprinted” means having no certain ways of arrangements or criteria. It seems to be uncompleted with many defaults and messy. The designs are all very life like, it is a mixed media feel with brilliant textures Depending on each kinds of Misprinted types, there are particular interesting features

1-Misprinted drawing: pictures are drawn by simple and not colorful lines. The pictures of people and any thing else such as flowers, wave, are very simple and look like being drawn by children. The people are drawn as big heads with gray faces, simple arms and legs.




2-Misprinted photos: the subjects in photos are dirty, messy, old and broken. In addition, subjects are taken in different and not good composition such as : the mixture between dark and light, subjects are represented messily and carelessly.





3-Misprinted portfolio: the combination between misprinted drawing and misprinted photo. The real pictures in the photos are added some messy drawing elements such as tears, blood, and especially scratches that cover people eyes.





4-Misprinted fonts : In my opinion ,misprinted fonts in the most interesting one in Misprinted types. The font type basically have similar shape to other common font however there are some differences and unique features. The letters in font have some empty holes and scratches look like they are printed by a bad printer with the lack of ink.

Especially there is one font type that each letters in the font have different type and shapes. It’s really creative and unique.
