Project 2 Concept Map V 2.3

There is my latest ideation. The squares are grouped from left to right in a progression of what led to what in Modernism. For instance, Progressivism, Purpose and Politics led to Vienna Secession, Constructivism, and Dadaism. That's why the last three follow the first three. I also added a timeline to further illustrate that, although these terms aren't following a strict time progression, the terms on the left lead to the terms on the right. I also added lines from one box to another to show which terms influenced which other terms. The line color and weight are determined by the color of the box. For instance, the lines coming from the Purpose box are a lighter blue and thinner than the ones coming from the Swiss Style box.

Kern! (on iPhone)

KERN is a minimalist typography experience challenging you to precisely place a missing letter into a falling word while avoiding any unnecessary ligatures! Practice and prove your typographical acumen with a score that gives new meaning to point-size!

Another Type Map

Speaking of type maps, check out one I ffffound for cubism and abstract art.

I was also working on this on the side, because I was unsure how effective my first idea was. Each box is a mini poster for each term with the other terms from the map that influenced that term inside. The boxes are ordered by hierarchy with the terms on the left with the thinner weight and the lighter blue boxes the lowest and the ones with the thickest weight and the darkest blue the highest.

What I think is interesting here is the child's interpretation of the letterforms. Which one's he has an easy time with and one's which he has a hard time understanding or just has not learned yet?

Interesting to watch with the adult - timing. The letterform is roken into components (as you learned in the calligraphy demo), but also notice the speed/change in speed, pauses, etc. It's a performance.

Transit Type

Here's my final. It is a variation of my last iteration (posted), but I also attempted to add the layering elements that were present on an earlier rendition.

Frank Chimero interview

Check out this interview. He speaks about his design process. Especially where he shows how he creates the logo/image for Florida. Especially note ho he gets the texture effect.
