Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” — Ezekiel 37:4-6

DRY BONES VALLEY
DRY BONES VALLEY
Dry Bones Valley, a fully hand lettered type project created for school. The project outline required students to create a meaningful composition of typography using scripture, poems, lyrics, etc. for inspirational content. This project teaches students to see the beauty and power of typographic elements while allowing students to explore and embrace their typographic voice. Dry Bones Valley is a beautiful scripture found in the book of Ezekiel and is filled with tons of imagery throughout. Although using illustrations may seem like a better choice, combining illustrations with typographic elements helps construct new ways to change a story into an exhibition of typographic pieces in each and every word.
