Typographies by Nicole Cooley fits into Kyle Schlesinger’s description of “total immersion” of text and image because of its abstract layout. The text is wrapped, flipped and twisted around the orginal poem, creating some sort of imagery which enhances and strengthens the poem. The formation of this broadside does not take any form of a shape, but it plays with different font sizes to emphasize the title of the poem. The distortion in the letters makes it hard to figure out what the piece is talking about, I think that may be the author’s intention, which makes the poem totally immersed in the plain background.
