Solid Modeling_Stratton

In order to show how the negative space between characters creates a sense of space and movement, I extruded the negative space to place emphasis over the positive space of the letters. I changed the heights of the letters in relevance to how I perceived the negative space to flow in a three-dimensional form. Thus, creating a space where the negative space reads more strongly than the positive, and a sense of pattern between the letters.

Pattern and Layering_Stratton

The intent of the pattern is derived from my analysis of the word last week, on how multiple characters within the word created an interesting composition of negative space between parts of a single letter as well as the space between letters. I chose two of the letters that most prominently evoked this idea of negative space (H and K), and using the transformation tool allowed the pattern to derive from the many functions of negative space the two letters create as well as their relationship to themselves and other letters. The horizontals as well as the ends of the strokes are in a strong relation to one another as can be seen by the over lapping of characters as well as the translucency provided in the color pattern.

Project 2_Board2_Stratton

Intending a more ambiguous form to which the letters were arranged, to focus on the tails of the letters and how they give character to the letters as a figure, but also give shape to the ground where the letters are appearing to give a directional attitude.

Project 2_Board1_Stratton

Intending to show how the difference between how letters are expressed, where letters begin to contain other letters of a different character defining a negative space in the process.
