For this workshop I was recording everyday typography at the Leeds Kirkgate indoor market, the biggest of its kind in the U.K. With such a high concentration of typography I needed to find a focus for my research. Although not hand drawn in the conventional sense it is the low quality signs produced on word processing programmes that interests me the most. These signs are mostly created by people with little to no knowledge of typographic or graphic design and with minimal computer based skills. Due to the primitive design of these signs they possess a hand drawn quality.
