Shark Bites
Shark Bites is a novelty silhouette alphabet in black and pale blue on white: block capitals with shark silhouettes and seaweed cut out of the fills, jagged bite notches on the vertical edges, and a scatter of pale sharks swimming behind the words.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Shark Bites.
The two words are stacked and the face is a picture alphabet: the cut-outs inside the letters are sharks and weed, the edges carry bite marks, and the pale sharks behind the block give the composition depth without adding a colour to the letters. That construction makes it a display cut for one subject, and the plate sets it large enough that every silhouette is recognisable. Because the counters are partly filled with shapes, the face needs a large size and short words, and the specimen keeps to two. The jagged edges are part of the letterform rather than a distress texture, which is why they hold on a shirt at 55 mm where a speckled fill would break up. The palette is two tones, and the white ground keeps the black sharp.

blueprints.
Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Shark Bites’s stroke geometry.
Poster for an aquarium day
A silhouette alphabet names the subject in the letterforms, and the cut-outs read at a distance without needing an illustration on the sheet.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the title at 100 mm cap height, the times in a 16 mm sans, and the address at 10 mm. Keep 28 mm margins and print two colours on a light stock with the pale sharks behind.
Pre-production check
Check the poster at five metres, where the small sharks can close into dots; keep the cut-outs above 5 mm. Confirm the 10 mm address reads at three metres and that the title fits the trim.
Set for an underwater party
A novelty face prints in one screen, and the bite edges keep the theme readable on a shirt where a fine illustration would fill.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 mm chest graphic: the greeting at 55 mm cap height, the age at 30 mm, and one ink on a light shirt. Keep the smallest cut at 4 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 4 mm cut can fill; simplify the shapes. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the cuts stay open after five cycles.
Sign for a marine week
A themed alphabet marks a subject week, and the bold shapes survive a school copier where a detailed graphic would disappear.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A3 print: the headline at 70 mm cap height, the dates in a 14 mm sans, and the rooms at 9 mm. Keep 25 mm margins and print one colour on a light sheet with a rule beneath.
Pre-production check
Check the A3 at three metres, where the bite notches can read as damage to the print; keep the pattern even. Confirm the 9 mm rooms read at arm's length and that the rule stays level.
