Emergency Type
Five works were produced for the Emergency Type project: a book and four posters, which researched the visual effects of stress and duress on typography under emergency conditions. The project also researched the manner in which humans and animals all have visual methods to express danger and emergency.
P200056T
P200056T is a typographic representation of the voice box recorder transcription from the doomed United Airlines Flight 93. The typography reflects research into legibility under emergency conditions and public emergency signage systems with colour and pattern references.
P200056T was the US government exhibit reference number given to the transcript when made public at trial. The recording itself has never been released.
The book is printed in three colours, with 120 pages.
Emergency Type Posters
A set of four posters were completed for the project, each one focusing on areas of visual signs used to represent emergency.
The language, direction, colour and legibility posters demonstrate the use of nautical emergency signalling, use of directional visual language on airline safety cards, butterfly emergency systems and legibility of type under stress.
