Type 3: Sculpture

I wanted to focus on the main "Form One" and "Form Two" part within the reading. I decided to take two spherical shapes and have one be smaller as the underdeveloped twin and fill it with black ink. Both spheres have smaller orbs inside them signifying lifeforms. In the underdeveloped one, the orbs are drowning in black ink. Around the pedestal that Form Two is sitting on, there is black wire coming out of the bottom and winding upward as if it is attacking / trying to infect Form One hanging above. Form One I decided to leave clear with bright orbs inside with a tiny red / pink flake that can be seen if you look closely. These are just some of the images I took that I wanted to add to the blog, I have a lot more but I didn't want this post to be super long.

Rhetoric

PART ONE: research I first started out with this project with research and figuring out what rhetoric is. Definitions: the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content. The ends justify the means Nice Quotes: “Every manufactured item send out signals to the mind or emotions. These signals - strong or weak, wanted or unwanted, clear or hidden, create feelings.” - Dieter Rams “For Rhetoric, language is never simply a form of expression: it is a functional tool that is manipulated to achieve desired ends.” - Ellen Lupton “Misunderstanding associates rhetoric with the bombastic and hollow, with fraud and seduction, with deceit and sheer ornamentation. The long history of this art, in contrast to popular assumptions, tells us that rhetoric has been concerne...

Learning Summary #2

I started out wanting to make a miniature book based on microtypography. The more I learned about it, the more I realized that all the components that make microtypography are along the same lines of macro, or "normal" typography. I decided to move towards making an all around book on letter spacing and all of the different terms, or just a book about typographic terms. This is some of my research on Microtypography that I am going to incorporate into my new book. Microtypography is concerned with the more individual features of letterforms Macro-typography is all about how typography is arranged on a web page. Macro-typographical techniques can be achieved on CSS but we must also bear in mind that the Web itself is changing rapidly. Macro-typography is all about how paragraphs and groups of sentences are placed together and how they appear on a page. Microtypography has to do with the details; setting the right glyph, getting the appropriate kerning and tracking, and...

Eclipse

  The whole Department of Graphic Design was in research session for Monday, August 21 for totality of the solar eclipse. All design students took part in observing a rare astronomical event which has been described as most spectacular and weird. For this assignment, we made work based on this event and our interpretation and experience of it. We gathered sound and image, wrote, diagramed, etc., while also slowing down and taking in the event.   At first I did not want to make an installation / experiential design of my experience, because it was already a happening everyone had already experienced. But thinking of a way around just showing the eclipse (something everyone already saw) I would take my individual and peculiar experience of being in the pool to the audience. I decided to gather more footage of sound and video of my pool at home. First I started to animate the water, but seeing user interaction - I decided to stick with footage of real water. I wanted to mak...
