Typography & Interaction 2025–26

Sophia Bae's Index

A collection of design and code explorations at the intersection of typography, history, and the web.

These projects were created for Typography & Interaction — a year-long course in the Communication Design MPS program at Parsons, The New School. Each piece explores a different format of the web: from collaborative editorial layouts to game interface-like inventories.

Selected Projects

01

Manuscript

A responsive editorial page pairing Kristen Coogan's essay on design history and aesthetic innovation with a personal reflection on how understanding the cyclical nature of style can inform one's own creative practice.

02

Spread

A collaborative editorial spread with a fellow classmate, translating a Vox feature on the gradient design trend into a richly visual web experience — strongly inspired by the mention of L.A. sunsets.

03

Binding

A digital mini-book titled "Rethinking Graphic Design History," weaving together three texts that challenge how we teach and talk about design — from style cycles to people's design to the question of hero narratives.

Multi-chapter "book" →︎
04

Links

A collaborative Are.na channel explorer with Ali Salifov, reimagined as a video game inventory screen. Browse a curated archive of game UI references — filtering by image, audio, video, and text — through an interface that is itself an homage to the medium it documents.
