Because of my interests in both graphic design and photography, and because of the intrinsic presence of language in both disciplines, I studied the role of typography in the photograph. I focused on typography in photography through the lens of graphic designers and photographers, analyzing how creatives in each of these fields use typography in their work. My initial investigations included the following:

The formal image
v.
The implied message

How photographers use type and image
v.
How graphic designers use type and image

Meaning
v.
Context

How photographers interpret type and image
v.
How graphic designers interpret type and image

All research, makings, and findings are included in this book.
