With this thesis project, I am investigating our relationship to constraint in the creative field. As an integral part of the practice of graphic design, I was interested in understanding the characteristics of a creation subject to limitations and what impact this could have on the creation itself. Observing both voluntary and involuntary constraints, my thesis is based on the sociology of games and the philosophy of a unique but limited creation (a spatio-temporal framework with a predefined design and rule) open to interpretation.

The aim of this research is to offer a playful and experimental practice of design, allowed by a process of creation under constraint: a work setting open to a creative potential that encourages the search for innovative solutions.

My main project explore a experimental typeface created under certain constraints. Beside opening my mind about typography and all the heritage background of it relation to constraint, it led me to expanded the project to others and work on a interactive approach of it, encouraging decision making.
