THE NEXT TEXT

Peter Cho Inspirations

One of my greatest inspriations for my final in this cours is Peter Cho's interactive treatment of letters found in 'letterscapes'. The author creatvely brings to life all twenty four letters of the alpahebt by embedding them into distinct interactive environments. Effectivey adding character to each letter genearets a fun expirience exploring the form and structuring of letters into new lenghts. My favourite ones personally are 'S' and 'A' where a great deal of manipulaton is indluenced by the movement of the mouse. The manipulaton achieved is unique and adds to the design of the font chosen. My final is somewhat simlar to that of Cho's compositoon in that they both attempt to augment and add character to letters in rather unique ways. I have included included phonetics and humour into my treatment of the letters. This is defnitely something I plan to continue in the near futurue and build upon. Peter Cho is certainly an inspriational figure in the digital type genre, and his legacy will live on and influence the means of interactive text for a long time.
