Photographer and illustrator Lisa Rienermann was in Barcelona in 2005 studying abroad, and looked up to see houses, the sky and the letter “Q.” The negative space between the houses formed a letter.
She spent the next few weeks running around, looking up, and finding more letters in the alphabet formed by architecture and sky. The project culminated in a booklet and poster of the sky alphabet, and the poster which said on the front, “Will you look at me? And “Yeah!” on the back.
Rienerman’s type is a reminder to look up to see what is being formed by the framing and negative space of our urban environment. The project was awarded a certificate of typographic excellence by the Type Directors Club New York 2007.
