At this stage I really want to move away from the screen and do something hands on relating to the research project. A few of my recent posts have included work that goes beyond the computer screen and touches on electronics (Sign Generator Hardware Edition) or design through experimentation (Hinting) and for me personally, this type of work has a greater appeal to it. It wouldn't be the first time I will have worked partly away from the computer as my last project from second year was heavily reliant on the use of a muio box and although the outcome wasn't amazing, there was definately a lot of potential there. For now, it's just worth bearing this in mind as I'm not going to commit to something this early.

Superscript² / Hinting
A series of typographical experiments in which physical grid-like structures are used as the basis for pixelated characters. It's such a simple concept but I think the outcome is really effective particularly on the grids in the street - it's giving the grid new meaning and purpose, becoming the canvas for a piece of art. I'd love to try this out myself =]

Superscript² / Forum après bac 2005
I was drawn to the simple geometric design that encases the title with this piece. Having been reading through 'Swiss Graphic Design - The origins and growth of an international style', geometry has been an influential part of the unique Swiss style. My research project at the moment may seem a little widespread but I think geometry is definitely an area I would love to look at closer regarding Swiss design.
Superscript² / Interactive Landscape²
The visual aids that accompany the music are what caught my attention with this piece. Geometric shapes, both three dimensional and two dimensional, appear on screen to a selection of coloured back drops. I'm not sure whether the audio influences the visuals on screen but that would seem to make sense seeing as the piece is interactive. It was a nice video to watch as the shapes are constantly in motion.
