Twentysix Gallery – 44 q’s
Typographic Installation
During the Typography II course at Victoria University, Communication Design students were assigned a random case and letterform from the alphabet. We were briefed to explore our letterforms’ wider context and history and to express that through one of three outputs: poster, sculpture, or motion. My letterform was the lowercase q.
Out of this, I created 44 q’s — a response to the letter q being one of the least used letters throughout the English language. Using custom-set continuous stationery, this wall of text showcases the frequency of the number of letters that appear in the English language per one letter q. At the highest frequency, there are 133 e’s per 1 q.
44 q’s is an interactive installation where the audience can search for and highlight q’s. This was installed at our xHeight exhibition at Twentysix Gallery in Newtown.

Event Poster
As part of the exhibition at Twentysix Gallery, we continued the yearly tradition of student-led creative identity. In a collaborative effort, we landed on the name xHeight, and I began working on posters for our event. We iterated on a text layout with information about the exhibition, and from there, we took student work and scaled and abstracted to allude to the exhibited work. I printed these posters with Risograph and posted the bills around campus and the gallery.
These posters were featured around Victoria University campuses, Victoria University social media, and Twentysix Gallery’s social media.
Student work includes: Boyoon Chae, Jenna Palmer, Mya Rathgen, Nicholas Reid, Charlotte Sinnema, Ethan Sheaf, Lara Speer, Kuba Szewczk, and Christopher Wendt
