I knew I had to do something interesting with geometry and type when I heard the premise of the Nine series. The Fruits of the Spirit is such a varied topic so I was free to explore something more indirect than my usual approach. I decided to work with the series’ heavy emphasis on the number nine by building letters from a grid of nine points. From there I built a strict grid to reinforce the steadfast nature of the values. Finally, I aged the illustration to highlight the classic, if not ancient, nature of the subject matter.
At 832 layers, this is the heftiest project I’ve had the pleasure of working on to date.
