type experiment 3.

HYPOTHESIS: if one recreates the composition of text, then the experience changes. Through the layout of information in this format, where the first letter of the verb is pulled out, the new layout will cause more interaction + from further away than the in depth read of the initial 5 pages of 8.5 x 11.

WHAT I DID: I further worked with the layout of the narrative and type placement. As reminder, I  pulled out most of the verbs and put the rest of the sentence before or after the letter of the verbs. Then I printed those layouts on overlays + resume paper and saw what it looked like overlaying them all on a light table. The main difference between this time and last time is that I had all of the narrative typed out. I downsized it all to fit on one 8.5 x 11 and printed out that way, experimenting with the overlaying of paper types.

OUTCOME: There were a lot of focus/legibility issues working with taking photos of the whole page, but if I focused on individual sections, the text could be read.

NEXT EXPERIMENT: Try out incorporating the cut out text on cardboard or a thicker board, reference to experiment 4 post option. Maybe I can use that for each line in the larger composition...choosing all of the verbs may choose too time consuming. or maybe creating a composition with all of the verb letters out of the cardboard?

WAKA WAKA. humor shot, unintended, but funny none-the-less + shows details of overlapping+light table.

swirl from slight overlap.

focusing on not only the text but presentation of information/background.

this shot with blur made me question if I should further something dealing with only sections in focus and blurred for the rest of it.

working with the slight overlapping of pages. the text is much more legible at sections than the whole piece.

experiment 3.25

I also experimented with printing the 8.5 x 11 out as 24 x 36. I compared the different formats and realized that it does work nicely as the poster at 24 x 36. I wonder if I tracked down some other paper, it would be interesting to try this layering effect at a larger scale+see what happens. Legibility and interaction may push this piece into a more interesting+impressive piece. Small side note, it's interesting how much the scenery of even these photos effect the feeling/initial thoughts of the poster.

feedback.

*pretty cool+interesting

*go bigger (6 feet tall?)

*work with hierarchy + scale (what's most important/have more than 2 levels)

*think about various layers of viewer interaction

*how would this look as installation art (Photoshop mock up)

*vinyl lettering + space

*move lines/rows much closer together
