After seven weeks and over $100 of supplies, I created this interactive, spinning poster that raises awareness for the “cool” side of dyslexia. As an ambigram, rightside up it reads correctly, but upside down in reads phonetically: “disleksia.” I wanted to do it in a graffiti style because its “creative chaos” feel is what we dyslexics go through sometimes, and I wanted to express it visually for those who don’t understand the experience. The board circle spins on a lazy Susan and changes colors, misspells, and the letters and paint are even at different heights to create a constantly changing, moving piece. Each piece was made of spray-painted foam core cut out by hand and by laser. The entire poster stands at 30″ by 30″ and was submitted as a midterm grade for my masters of graphic design degree. If you’re interested in how dyslexia works and how it affects people’s reading, spelling, and creativity, check out my essay about the dyslexic superpower or watch my short infographic animation. I got an A- on this project.
