Lim designed papers bags, that questioned what they would say if they could talk to us. He came up with the phrases LOVE ME, POSSESS ME. He used white block capital letters aliened in thick white lines, in the middle of the bag which creates a light wash against the light brown background. To emphasis this theme of love and nurture, branches have been used to weave their way though the words. An effective solution that conveys meaning and purpose.

visit portfolio: https://www.behance.net/yixiangy 

Lim has used elements of typography and created a snarky tone of voice to create a unique work that otherwise makes a boring topic about grammar and punctuation interesting. Spacing and alinements have been used in great diversity, making each page fresh, a hard feat when only dealing with black and white colours. The display text consists of large block letters drawing attention to large quotes of subheadings. The title Full Stop. is represented in a minimal manner on the front page with only a blurred image on the bottom half of the page that bleeds horizontally of the page. This is an effective use navigation and hierarchy in typography and page layout.
