Building upon last week’s explorations, I chose to continue working with typography; contextualising the typographic choices which underline our lives online and rendering them apparent on the context of death. Moving forward, I chose to contrast my previous iterations which focused on the creative, expressive nature of Web 1.0 web design (specifically the now-defunct Geocities). Rendering gravestones in the typographic styles most prevalent on the internet-of-today, one can see a loss of personality in favour of standardised objectivity. The barrage of contrasting typefaces, bold colour choices, and flashings GIFs has been usurped by a clean, organized aesthetic favouring sans-serif typefaces. An aesthetic that currently informs the online memorial markers for many former users of social media sites whose profiles remain active or memorialized.
