DB5: PROGRESS UPDATE!

I have done a significant amount of work over the past week for my final project, having completed most of the computation involved to convey the Frutiger characters. Now that most of my programmatic issues are resolved, over the next week, I plan to focus on the design and phonetics of the interactive experience. This should definitely be a fun activity, especially with the recording of the sounds where their are many sequences where audio can really enhance the simulation, essentially adding character to the letterforms. I have many more ideas that I wish to implement seeing that I have enough time to do so. I am of course at present focusing on the essential aspects of the piece which is proper functionality, good communication, and a smooth interactive experience. The polishing ideas I have I can always implement at a later time. All in all, I am very happy with the results I have thus far and am looking forward to completing it this week. Choosing a fun concept makes development truly an enjoyable experience, and of course I am learning a tremendous amount through the midst of it. Furthermore, I believe that this project is generating for myself a new perspective on digital typography, and is contributing to my growth as a new media artist. Looking forward to next week to present my work and as well learn from others and see what they have accomplished.
