READ KIDDIES!!
I made this in a pink frenzy. Next day, my graphic design teacher asked me to explain it; i came up with the following on the spot & thought it was, at the very least, amusing. Don't feel compelled to read it though...(i have to assume my audience is incapable of artistic interpretation... This piece began as one of a series of abstract 3D renders produced in Cinema 4D. As per usual, it looked pretty from the start, but it wasn’t until my sanity went through the roof after a long, near-sleepless week that this piece took flight. The title, “Read (the lines)” is a loaded joke of sorts; the “read” scrawled at the bottom of the piece recalls the ubiquitous posters promoting reading, such as those seen in the CSUS library. However, the only “readable” aspects to the piece are the typographic elements, and reading those “lines” takes some serious effort (not to mention between them…  . There is legible English there, but the typography’s use as a pure visual element struggles with it, reflecting an age-old debate in typographic design between legibility and visual design. If you read Japanese or just stare long enough, the typography tells the 2nd part of the piece’s story: “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog (and bit my head off)”. The first bit of that is a well known phrase in font design that uses all 26 letters. That the fox bit off my head therefore suggests that design (the creative process, this piece in particular, etc) somehow disconnected my head, a concept that reflects the duality of artistic creations like this one. Either my head, that well of ideas, disconnected from my body and flew to some bizarre obscure corner of space to design in peace; or my hand created on its own, without input from the bitten-off head. Whatever the case, typography, legibility, and the design process can all be seen here to some degree in all their glowing glory.
