a few words
This blog is an exploration of the interaction of different design disciplines. This ever expanding project is the main study of my MA on Graphic Arts+ Design at Leeds Metropolitan University.
This is an attempt to identify and record the major targets / experiments of this year's study. Research methods, design attempts and ideas, influences and links to other available material will be found here as well as future ideas and thoughts.
This blog should be the starting point of further thinking and exploration. Please feel free to comment and express your opinions on things you like or dislike.

First experiment in deconstructing a typeface. Every letter includes the following letter (alphabetically) by subtracting its volume.
The second letter is placed at the centre of the first, angled by 45^.
Strangely, it is up to the reader to decide which is negative and positive space reading either straight or on 45^.
Should the a be subtracted from z? Do we consider typefaces as a series of letters, or circles, or maybe single elements that belong to a whole.
Why should a be associated with b? Even worst when you consider some of these combinations are letters that don't like standing next to each other in most languages.
What is the use of such a typeface?
See examples below and try reading!
