Splinter: 3D Type


Splinter. I've been quite inspired with typography, especially expressive type. This is one of my recent projects where I created a three dimensional typeface using board that was cut up in triangular pieces and then glued to create letter forms. This would be something I would consider for thesis whereabouts I would want to attempt to emulate some for of expression with type, but not to sure how that would work. Currently I'm in the process of forming the outline for how to create 3d type out of plants. In fact, that's a thought, type that grows. For my thesis, creating a set of typefaces that grow to create letter forms. These would be photographed throughout their life's stage from beginning to end and have a video montage of this process made. I like that!

  1. Links are interesting. Should have more entries, and some references to how motion graphics are successful, their advantages and disadvantages. They do have disadvantages... Film didn't get rid of books because books function in a way that film doesnt. They each have their advantages.
