Internet Censorship Symposium 11in x 17in Collage and photography. Typography project that promotes the symposium at Aberystwyth University using the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;voidâ&#x20AC;?. The concept of void was interpreted as an extension of space more than a lack of it. Therefor, a three dimensional construction would make more sense than a two dimensional.

Originally the black tape wrapping would read void, but the ideal was to represent censorship in an educational context given the event. Secondly, information that is being censored.

HUMAN RIGHTS TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2012

Event information: The New School 66 West 12th St, Room A 407 New York City 6:30PM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:30PM

Panelists: Colonel Morris Davis Former Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Ramzi Kassem Lawyer for Shaker Aamer Andy Worthington Journalist and author of The Guantanamo Files Thenjiwe McHarris Moderator, Amnesty International USA

11in x 17in Collage of drawings and digital manipulation. The design was originally inspired by the russian constructivist aesthetic and political spirit. The cause addressed relates to human rights violation when a person is detained by the authority. The panel held at The New School discusses real life cases, such as Shaker Aamer, a former US resident who has been held in detention for years without a charge or trial.

Panel Discussion: The Human Face of Indefinite Detention: Shaker Aamer, Guantanamo & the NDAA

The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat 6.125in x 8.25 Scanned pages. Book cover design expressing the confusion and neurological imbalances narrated in this compilation of medical cases by Oliver Sacks.

e d itorial

Based on a series of case studies of neurological pathologies, this cover seeks to visually interpret the confusion experienced by a patient with visual agnosia in the story of Mr. D who is unable to decipher visual information.

Taking into account the struggle and confrontation art students go through while attending university, the cover design seeks to materialize these feelings based on the narrative of Chipp Kidd and it uses the materials and visual language associated with such undertaking.

1926 Gill Sans is a sans-serif typeface designed by Eric Gillin1926, and became popular by 1929. Gill later on developed it into a complete family.

Gill Sans was used at the London and North Eastern Railway System in all their collateral material. The design of capital letters is founded on on a square. The M from Gill Sans middle strokes meet at the center of this shape.

Gill Sans contains fourteen styles and it feels mechanical feel than other geometric sans-serifs like Futura.

Its proportions are influenced by the Roman traditional style. The carolingian form is more noticeable in the lower case “g” and “a”.

ill ans Eric Gill was a well established sculptor, graphic artist, and type designer, and the Gill Sans typeface takes its inspiration from Edward Johnston’s Johnston typeface for the London Underground.

Gill worked on the London Undergroundwhile he apprenticed to Johnston. Eric Gill attempted to make the ultimate legible sans-serif text face. Gill Sans was designed to function equally well as a text face and for display. Because Eric Gill died in 1940, in most parts of the word the typeface became part of the public domain in 2011.

s e lec tor

In countries where typefaces are not copyrightable, like in the United States, it is possible to freely use Gill Sans for any purposes.

Supported by research, Dr Paul states that, reading affects our behaviours based on the type of literature we frequent; for instance, fiction readers develop a greater sense of compassion and empathy due to the amount situations encountered dealing with human emotions and interactions in the narratives.

SYNERGY THE SCIENCE OF TYPOGRAPHY 10.50IN X 13.75IN <p style="text-align: left; font-family: Gotham, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px; color: #505050;"> <by> Ellen Lupton

In this article author Ellen Lupton discusses the variations on typography and their effect on legibility. She proves through research and experimentation, that type sizes below 10pt become more and more difficult to read, and that overly decorated typefaces such as neo-medieval Cloister Black slow down the reading speed, and the assimilation of the actual content.

The authors’ conclusion: “Type faces [sic] in common use are equally legible” (613). Science leaves the designer more or less at sea in terms of font choice.

SYNERGY THE SCIENCE OF TYPOGRAPHY 10.50IN X 13.75IN The article addresses how many people still prefers to read from print, and how digital companies, such as IBM tried to resemble at its very best the appearance of text on screen by manipulating resolution and distortion on text and graphics. Other aspects discussed in this article that affect readability and legibility are the line length, recommended to be between seven words to forty-six characters.

Utopian product that seeks to facilitate the interaction between Americans and foreigners by wearing the piece on the ear, as a bluetooth would, and due to its proximity with the brain, it is able to read thoughts and filters whatever is socially unacceptable to speak about in a particular context.

us-000 Logo development The product branches out in five main stages: BBQ party, educational insitution, family reunion, baptism, and wedding. A premium version can be also purchased, and it is set up to include all five stages in one device.
