For my final major project at university, I curated a typographic book that aims to visually communicate my personal struggles with dyslexia. There are many misconceptions of dyslexia including, 80 percent of people thinking that dyslexia is linked to an intellectual disability, or that dyslexia can be cured. These misconceptions result in many people not taking dyslexia seriously, leaving 6 million people in the UK struggling with dyslexia undiagnosed. I have used typography and design to help me explain what the many symptoms of dyslexia can look and feel like to those who don’t struggle with it. This book was designed, printed, bound and covered by myself at university facilities This book contains 5 chapters, all emphasising on a different area of struggle. There are many physical elements to the book to create an interactive and person experience for the reader. People may not understand the types of difficulties that are faced every day, but hopefully this book can encourage people to take dyslexia more seriously.
