The Richardson Family | Private Commission
Private Lettering Commission
The Richardson Family is a lettering artwork commissioned by Nathan Tremlett for our common friends Megan Richardson and Alan Richardson. The client approached me with the idea of creating a customised wedding gift under the idea of synergy.
I researched synonyms of synergy and found some words that I liked and gave a positive message: Unity, symbiosis and harmony. I also included concepts of family such as trust, love and respect. And lastly, I included their own names: Megan, Alan, Evelyn and Mae.
Following the definition of synergy –the creation of a whole is greater than the sum of its parts– I created a contemporary typographic doily, referencing those old school knitted ones that can be found at home.
I showed a loose sketch to the client and we decided to change the word “synergy” by “family” and move ahead.
Nathan and I gave the artwork to them in private on their wedding day and their faces made all my efforts totally worth it.
The Richardson Family was selected to be part of the ‘Goodtype The Book Volume One’.
