Indeks Penghabisan Manusia (FYP: For Your Poetry) is a poem that discusses the city, human issues, media, the environment, and generational tensions.
This book explores language, photography, text, and design while responding to the population census data published by the Central Statistics Agency of Makassar. This poetry book serves as a kind of personal journal by Rachmat Hidayat Mustamin in recording, freezing, and archiving his experiences through interdisciplinary practices that he has been engaged in.
In the FYP: Indeks Penghabisan Manusia manuscript, Radi senses those dilemmas about identity. Where words are seemingly misplaced, the bigger picture tells a story and reflects Indonesian identity from a global perspective. Especially since she moved out of Indonesia when she was 18. There is a disconnection between memories, old beliefs, and her experience now as an Indonesian-Canadian.
“I am lucky to get to see the identity of Indonesia from a global perspective and my current experience living in Toronto. It is a bittersweet experience of self-identity, between the longing for home but also the duality of my roots and the person I am becoming. Through this reflection, I wanted to illustrate and deconstruct this experience and so-called dilemma through the design of this book. I brought up nostalgic elements that drew from my childhood and my taste in design, which is predominantly inspired by Western design, in the book.”
Interestingly, this book was a collaborative work between three places, Rachmat in Makassar, Indonesia, Sokong Publishing in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; and Radi in Toronto, Canada. It is a collaborative experience between an old friend, new friends and just creative souls merging–what they do best–together.
Wayfinding Finding Ways
Category: Archival Publication, Experimental Typography
Wayfinding Finding Ways is a curated zine of imagery exploring the world of wayfinding and navigation systems through world-less symbolism. Wayfinding as a universal language helps people to orientate, navigate and discover their surroundings.
The focus of this zine is to study what it means to find our way between places. My main focus is to design this zine to be easily navigated through each classification by looking at the nature of the wayfinding system.
Part 2 of my Wayfinding Finding Ways zine, it explores the relationship between cognitive science and the wayfinding system. Investigating the interrelation of human behaviour in navigating the world around them, and the culture that was created as a result of these graphic languages.
moon Display Typeface
Category: Typeface Design, Type specimen
moon Display typeface is the result of an extensive investigation into display serif and italics typeface with playful and quirky details. Its curvaceous italicized axis is the star of this typeface, the chunky stroke provides a stable ground and complements the thin contrast along the curves. Through intensive experimentation in finding the balance between the counter and the stroke, the moon has finally landed.
