The Happiness of your lofe depends on the quality of your thoughts
Found Project Poster – Marcus Aurelius

The Found Project

This project is part of the Found Project, which explores typography by using everyday objects that resemble letters to form legible words and phrases. For this iteration, the design transforms ordinary items into a poster that reads:

“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.” – Marcus Aurelius

The goal of the project is to challenge conventional notions of typography, turning common objects into a cohesive visual language while maintaining readability. Each letter was carefully selected and arranged from real-world shapes and forms, emphasizing creativity, observation, and the playful intersection between the physical and the textual.

The resulting poster balances visual intrigue and clarity, encouraging viewers to look closer and appreciate both the objects themselves and the philosophical message they convey. This piece demonstrates how design can transform the everyday into something meaningful, showing that letters—and meaning—can be found in the world around us.
