urban
influences
Millions of people use every day an email software to send a message to the other part of the world. But how this technology can be used in a more creative way? Using Apple Mail as a subverting drawing tool, this publication represents a visual gallery of artworks consisting of patterns and typographic compositions. All 11 black and white visual outcomes are created entirely using the keyboard as a drawing tool playing with letters, numbers and symbols.
The source behind the compositions is a series of images connected to urban life; walls, streets, trees, etc. The interesting part is that each visual outcome has its own influences. What kind of feelings do they express?
