Response and reaction to readings:
The reading, as well as the letterscape and wordscape, showed good examples of what we can do for our upcoming project. It is nice to see someone create three dimensional letters in a different way that simply using boxes and spheres and linear edges but rather beveled extrusions and smoother looking. From a two dimensional shape to a sculptural form, he gave a personality to each one of the letters. The Letterscape project, I enjoyed playing around with it and trying it out, finding it to be quite creative since each letter is represented differently when clicked on. As for the Wordscrape, it is a continuation of Letterscape whereas they created different environments for the letters and form a one word poem. The interaction is with the mouse that reveals denotations and connotations of of words. It is built with processing, making it amusing and visually appealing to look at.
This seems like a very beautiful piece but I was not able to view it. From the images, it looks like an interactive piece with a wide range of visuals. I would of liked to know what program or language he used for the making of this typographic work. It amazes me how much can be done with just words and give them a whole new meaning. The first two images which look like grass are quite beautiful which means he must have really accomplished what we originally had in mind.
Here are two compelling links that I found with interactive pieces except most of them are analog. It is impressive to see the difference between the digital and analog as well.
