“Now that I am out of memory, I am grateful to the objects that remind me of the past.” This book presents a selection of Paula Molina’s most relevant work in analog photography. It includes the texts that accompanied these images at some point, as well as the descriptions of some techniques that she has used from 2018 to 2023. Her encounters with photosensitive material, light, and the variants that she managed to explore during this time, and that continue exploring. Her encounters with melancholy, visual sensations, and dream spaces. The brilliant moments that resonate in movement and color. This book perhaps marks the closing and beginning of a stage in her life and work, representing her first legacy to the world. Paula Molina is a filmmaker from Bogota, Colombia. During her career she specialized in cinematography and directing within production.

For the book titled Resonancias Lumínicas it was decided to choose the color yellow as a representation of light, the simple design seeks to give all the focus to the images. On the cover, Rhubarb was used in outline to represent the path of light that shapes the images through light, with adjusted endings of the R and L to fit the cover. TWK Lausanne was used for the body text, which is comfortable to read at any text size.

During her UCLA course, media arts design student Amy Fang made a publication called TypeUnseen, focusing on the textual element, creative typography, and the trend of brutalism in graphic design.

How do contemporary graphic designers utilize illegibility within the art of typography? Type Unseen is a reader on designed illegibility and visual nonsense; it analyzes the influence our youth culture has had on experimental typography, all the while exploring the multitude of philosophies that drive us to construct and deconstruct meaning.

Type Unseen was conceptualized in early 2020 as a means to uncover trends followed by young typographic designers, championing abstract experimentation and ornamentation over meaning. The book is a compendium of ten case studies, catalogued within four different sections: showcasing typography as image and pure form; as a means of producing identity; as a catalyst for protest; and as a way of being. However, in the context of a year shaped by a global health crisis and racial reckoning, Type Unseen asks another question for young designers—what messages will ultimately materialize and shape the aesthetics of our generation?

The book typography uses Suisse Int’l as text typeface, with Charon, Deformi, Euphoria, and Al Fresco for display. In addition, Amy Fang includes a spread with a quote by Michael Bierut in which “he contemplates his jump from typographic fidelity while working for [Massimo] Vignelli, to typographic promiscuity.” She has set his words in 25 typefaces, “some of the craziest I’ve collected over the past year.”

The front and back cover feature stretched caps from Charon and Al Fresco.

Charon is mixed with Euphoria.

The condensed all-caps Charon is being paired with Deformi.

Spread with the quote by Michael Bierut, set in 25 different typefaces. From top to bottom, these are:

Gang, Kraft, Charon, 12:51, Lapicide, Parabole, Clifton, Pilowlava, Euphoria, Salicorne, BD Retrocentric, Alt Display, Basylisk, CNVS, Glyphworld Meadow, Digestive, Icarus, Apfel Grotezk, Love, Misto, Grand Slang, Le Murmure, Halyard Micro, Sprat, Ornamentum.

The hhintersection website is an art mediation project, focusing on topics of diversity and encouraging experimentation in the educational institution and beyond. It is a platform where artists and creative producers can share ideas and be visible online.

The project began within the University of Fine Arts (HfBK), Hamburg with a desire to draw the outside world into the institution and allow the work and actions within the university to make moves towards the exterior.

Navigating through the website you’ll find reading material, documentation of previous events as well as information about upcoming things, and projects we’re interested in and want to share and support. hhintersection’s focus is on promoting content representing femme and queer artists and producers aiming to make this material and information available to all.

The website features numerous contemporary typefaces created by independent designers. Colors change with every load, or with the click of the button on the right. Web design and coding by Yulia Wagner. Typefaces in use throughout the website include:
