Vintage movie tickets
I’m thinking of designing a detachable cover which looks like a cinema ticket and could also be used as a bookmark. The colours would define categories and once detached, it would reveal a simple, clean book cover.

Channel 4 Ident – Tokyo 2004
From the view of a tourist, we take a night-time stroll through Japan’s capital city, with the “4″ logo finally created from street signs overhead.

Projected Type
Tobias Battenberg took a projector and Akzidenz Grotesk out onto the streets, and came back with these fantastic images.

Caligraft
“The main idea behind this work is to explore a new dimension of textual representation. I try to consider the different possibilities of glyph, words and text representation and distribution in space and time.
This is motivated by the large amount of abstract generative work created with the apparition of computing. Thus I try to approach the figurative generative field, by the use of calculus and computation. This allows us to discover the limits of perception and recognition in a superficial but fun and interactive way.”
Extracted from Caligraft
Really amazing project and beautiful results.

Rubik Maker
This Shockwave application, programmed by Jürg Lehni, was initially developed as a design tool for generating a set of fonts based on the legendary Rubik Cube.
The application allows users to pick and play with a set of 27 cubes, to modify them within certain parameters, and to export the result as vector data, which can be opened and edited in programs like Adobe llustrator or Macromedia Freehand.

Nicolai – a modular font
Nicolai is a modular font, commissioned as an art project for the exhibition Museutopia in the Karl Ernst Osthaus-Museum, Germany.
Stylistically reminiscent of typographic experiments from the de Stijl movement, the Nicolai font composes letters by using blocks of 3 colors. The colors can be specified by the user using a Shockwave application which outputs EPS. The application can be tested from the Nicolai product page.
Not very readable but cool.

Responsive type
Responsive Type is a computational typography study. The user types text in an applet, which renders the shapes and strokes of the type in realtime, allowing animation and modular typography. Created in Processing, the applet currently only has one typographic style. Work is underway to open up the source and allow users to add more styles. Responsive Type was created by London-based Hudson-Powell for their exhibition at Beamst, Tokyo.

Parts of a character is a public interactive art project.
All letterforms are composed of 21 distinct parts.
Most commonly these parts combine to form the characters of our alphabet.
Type is Art allows for experimentation of forms beyond this typical character set.
The project is really cool. It is super interactive and you can make something quite cool. It’s is like adobe’s illustrator made easy for the public.
Giving this much control to the users could be quite good, but also having random images being formed would also be wise for the POD.
