"A picture can say a thousand words.” At least that’s how the old saying goes, which is why we’ve decided to turn it on its head: can you try making an image out of a thousand words? Or even out of a single letter? That’s right guys, for this month’s scarf challenge we’re all about the art of typography.
But hey, this isn’t some simple transcribing exercise: we want you to push typographical creativity to almost unrecognizable limits. Explore the history of the ampersand, delve into intensely detailed blocks of old American newsprint, or study the miniature artworks of Chinese characters – the (typographical) world is your oyster!
This competition is for scarves. As always, don't forget that your print might need to be adjusted to fit the appropriate template. All templates are marked with design specifications to help you get your design just right. Please note that all FRS templates may differ slightly from final manufacturing specifications, so make sure your print is versatile and flexible enough for production.
