project proposal

My website will be called behindthetype.com, which will be an informational website that explores the history and origins of the alphabet and letterforms. The purpose is go beyond typography and its history and look at where our letters came from. An understanding of why letters look the way they do could give designers a deeper understanding and appreciation for the art of typography. The site will have images that show the different forms of letters, from their beginnings of glyphs, through the Roman and Greek alphabets, to their current form today. I want to experiment with typographic design, presenting the content in a visually stimulating manner so that the content is not so static.
