O dizajnu Voice Print Knjiga

Voice Print je knjiga o govornim nefluentnostima, prekidima i nepravilnostima koji se javljaju dok ljudi govore. Knjiga koristi tipografske partiture, vizualne uzorke koji prikazuju govor kroz vrijeme, kako bi pokazala da fluentnost postoji kao spektar, a ne kao jednostavna podjela na dva stanja. Partiture su tiskane na prozirnom papiru s izraženom prozirnošću tiska. Eseji složeni bijelim slovima na crnoj podlozi, na sjajnom i neprozirnom papiru, daju kontekst i vode čitatelja. Knjiga ima dimenzije 9 x 12 inča, jednako kao notni zapis.

Jedinstvena svojstva: Voice Print is a book about disfluencies and the way we speak. It attempts to show the hidden complexities of fluent speech through typographic scores, showing that fluency exists on a spectrum rather than a simple binary. Alongside the scores are essays that provide context and guide the reader through the book. These essay spreads are white on black, and printed on glossy, opaque paper stock. It's design is intentionally rigid and mechanical, but still mimicking the fluidity of the scores.
Dimenzije i pakiranje: Width 228.6mm x Depth 304.8mm x Height 15mm
Oznake: typography, book design, experimental typography, graphic notation, editorial design
Proizvodna tehnologija: The book is 9x12 inches, same size as sheet music. Scores are printed on translucent paper with significant show-through, representing the fluidity of human speech. Essays are white on black and printed on glossy, opaque paper, to contrast the scores.
Dizajnerski izazov: The hardest part was translating something as fluid and emotional as speech into a strict visual system. Finding the right balance between structure and freedom required constant testing. Socially, it confronted cultural biases surrounding stuttering; technically, it involved designing a typographic method capable of capturing temporal and tonal variations. This process expanded the role of design as a tool for empathy and linguistic awareness.
Istraživanje: This design research explores speech fluency through visual notation. The goal was to reveal the structure behind imperfect speech. Using recorded interviews, speech was transcribed into typographic scores that map sound over time. Participants included people with varying speech patterns. The results show visual and rhythmic similarities between stuttering and melisma, reframing disfluency as expression, not error, impacting how we perceive voice and identity.
Inspiracija: What is fluency? Is it the lack of stutters? Does it signify perfection? How do we show the hidden complexity behind fluent speech? When we mention fluency, thoughts of speaking smoothly often come to mind. Disfluencies have been viewed as undesirable due to cultural perceptions. What if our pauses and irregular flow of speech arent seen as undesirable?
Trajanje projekta: This project started in January 2023 NYC, and completed in July 2025 NYC.
Tijek rada: Voice Print turns speech into visual scores. Each page transcribes how we talk, pauses, hesitations, and rhythm, into patterns on a grid, inspired by the musical score. By following a few design rules, speech becomes something you can see. It helps us recognize that stuttering and melismatic singing share structure, showing that our disfluencies are not flaws but part of how we express ourselves.
