The brief given was to create a typographic piece on a topic based on ‘lighthouses of the world’. My chosen one was Turnberry lighthouse. A challenge I came across for this project was creating typographic elements that weren’t obvious in relation to a lighthouse. I overcome this struggle by discovering how lighthouse keepers used morse code to communicate across water, which I then used as my main typographic focus of this book.
