This is where I come across a successful designer named Pablo Alfieri and have converted me in doing handmade projects in future. They say making type BOLD make things stand out, this project is to experiment the theory. One way to grab attention in a sea of words is to set text in bold fonts. It is heavier, darker than regular type. Bold fonts are used for emphasis to make certain words and phrases stand out from surrounding text. Whole paragraphs of text set in bold type are hard to read. The reason bold type creates emphasis is that it slows down the reader and forces their eye to really take in the words more carefully. But if you slow them down too much they may just skip over what you have to say.

When the public spaces become utilized (night time) what happens? The public spaces become non-places. The images aim to communicate the aura and atmosphere of these places. Although the areas are absent of bodies, we are still aware of the human presence. It is apparent in this evidence we leave behind marks of our existence.
