The work “Dear Putin” was based on a photo found online, depicting a protester with a banner reading the same words. I fell in love with this statement right away because of how aptly it talks about how ‘history likes (and tends) to repeat itself’. I thought it had great potential, but lacked clarity and legibility. My only job here was to amplify the voice of the Ukrainian protester. Following the tone of the statement, I put it together as simply and as bluntly as possible with the thickest variation of my Halis font, making the idea, the message clearer, more readable.
