My first thought, after reading the novel, was to to create a set of posters that attempted to reveal some of the contrasts in the narrative: good/evil; sanity/insanity; health/illness; light/darkness; etc. I wanted to use typography in a very playful, intuitive manner: something that I had been already exploring on my blog, www.jamesbrookoutput.blogspot.com, and which related to my ideas of typography being a system of mark-making that could be likened to painting and drawing.
