This weeks blog assignment is to express a quote pulled from an article written by Beatrice Warde. The quote that I chose is "It is sheer magic that I should be able to hold a one-sided conversation by means of black marks on paper with an unknown person halfway across the world." I can't quite put a finger on what makes this statement so beautiful, but it is. I think it is the pure truth in it. That by putting a few marks in a book, you are communicating with someone you don't know, and probably will never meet, and that they will read and take an understanding of your words. It shows the power of type and how by choosing the right or wrong type, you can be seriously impairing the understand and reading experience of the viewer. So that's my interpretation! peace!
that's very nice! the design feels tranquil and i love how it is in a circle. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true! it is actually really amazing when you think about it. being able to get your thoughts across without ever meeting them. I agree with you that the context of the text has to be taken in account before deciding if it is supposed to be invisible or not. nice!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about books and such like this before. This is an awesome quote and I love your design. Looks like the world almost..
