Statements for posters...

Coming up with good questions into which to fit the different taxonomies.
1. WHAT KIND OF TAXONOMY OF TYPOGRAPHIC KNOWLEDGE TO WE NEED?
taxonomy of street typography: posters, shop signs, commercial type, advertising...

2. IS THERE A LAW TO ORGANIZING OFFICIAL, INSTITUTIONAL MARKING?
Maybe this question should read 'should there be a law to...' in reference to the way type is used guide and to enforce the law to the public.
taxonomy of cautionary, institutional, official marking placed by council/government etc: road signs, the 'look' on the ground, the stencil marking at the train station...

3. CAN ALL TYPE THAT IS HAND RENDERED BE CLASSIFIED AS VALID (or meaningful) TYPOGRAPHY?
taxonomy of graffiti, hand written signs, markings...

4. ?

    Re. 1. it just seems a bit like anything would be relevant when you say "street typography: posters, shop signs, commercial type, advertising... ".

    2 sounds sort of ok to me....

    maybe 1. should be 'commercial' and 2 could be 'institutional'... and 3 can be 'vernacular' or something.

    4... ?

    I have to run now but will call you tomorrow morning and talk about space etc..
