For this typographic based brief the theme is to consider plants in the biggest possible way, to take into consideration colours, size, smell, feel, texture, associations, and botanical names. The brief is asking for an "eye catching" and informative outcome that interprets an celebrates plants and the concept of the garden (metaphors) and its role in our lives.
The brief states:
‘The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: the soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don’t want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don’t have a soul.'
Thomas Moore
Some see gardening as a metaphor for life. Whether it is a plant or two on a window sill in an urban apartment, a vegetable plot in a suburban garden, the yard of an American home, the ornate gardens of the Château de Versailles, the botanical gardens of Kew or the Zen-inspired gardens of Japan, the constant in all gardens is the presence of plants.
