// subtitles 888
Recreated the Ceefax homepage in Illustrator using Teletext typefaces and pixel precision.
This was how I first accessed subtitles—Page 888—launched in 1974, two years before I was born. But I didn’t start using them until age 4, after my deafness was diagnosed.
Sometimes I wonder: if I’d had captions sooner, would the wiring of my brain be different? Would the delay in auditory processing still be there?
This screen isn’t nostalgia.
It’s an interface.
It’s how I learned to see what I could not hear.
