Each working group will implement the insights gained from the research in a workshop, providing fellow students with inspiration for their own design process:
Typography as a system that creates systems: Inspired by the designer Anthony Froshaug, the students create poetry.
Write a poem that does not have to rhyme. Black out the less interesting words in the given text The Paradox of Our Time (Bob Moorehead, 1995)
↓
Place the transparent grid on top of the poem, then place a sheet of transparent paper on top. Color in the corresponding grid areas (squares) over the words that remain free.
↓
Arrange the green shapes on the enclosed paper grid. Find a nice composition. Scan the sheet.
↓
Place the scan on the background layer of an InDesign document. Position your poem (or part of it) in any font you choose. Only place the text on the areas defined by the green shapes.
↓
Print the poem on the painted-over transparent paper.
