Comparison works of Interactive typography 4.1

My first choice for analyzing Interactive text is sourced from the Levitated site. Aesthetically, conce


ptually, and technically, these works are beautifully created.

The Emotion Fractal is a recursive space filling algorithm using English words describing the human state. The interaction occurs by using the right mouse button to zoom in to the image. Every time you reload the page a different set of characters appears creating a new construct.

The reason I found this intriguing is because the work deals with many perspectives and layers. This is much like a collage style. Initially I wanted to work with the notion of a collage within my design brief, so this piece of work was a digital inspiration.

The amount of negative space that is left on the stage is usually proportional, the piece always tends to balance out, even though the variation in text size is so great.

For instance, in the screen image I captured, the word “Bitchy” and “Stung” clearly stands, generally because they are the largest in size. Other text is so mall that they no longer become words they become decorative objects that add to th

e piece and fill up the white space.

The font face is kept simple with a serif font; I do be

lieve it looks like Americana. The piece itself deals with human emotions, generated randomly, which is what makes it resemble the actions of individuals, sometimes our emotions are generated randomly, much like this piece.

Pulp fiction Typography:

My second example for this assignment is much different. The creator has taken a section of dialogue from the famous 1994 film by director Quentin Tarantino and turned it into a typographic peace.

The reason I chose this work was because I found it intriguing the way the typographic elements flowed with the mood and speed of the dialogue, when the voice (Samuel L. Jackson) was enraged or talking loudly with speed, the letters would move the same ways, if there was a bang, the letters scattered, much like a gun shot would shatter the object it was targeting as shown in the first screen capture. The size of the text was also determined by volume, and enforcement in his voice, such as the example shown on screen capture number 2. When he spoke very rapidly the text zoomed across the screen, like it was being pulled.

Overall I though this was a well done typographic interpretation of the dialogue it was taken from.
