I like the idea of communicating my poetry through using interesting and creative type and layout. I haven't yet decided on the full content, which poems, and what imagery to include (if any), and colour. What I do know is that as part of my practice, even if it's just for my own self-appreciation, I want to research, and design using abnormal type and layout.
I found this website http://explorationsintypography.com/, enables you to learn the basics by applying type and layout aspects to a given paragraph. Here are some images from the book:
I also found a link to Jihad Lahham's website, he specialises in visual communicating, I like his different approach to type and layout. I feel it could work effectively when writing poetry,
