In reply to White space according to Gerrit Noordzij and my Thesis on street painting:
@Nick: that's just the thing. I know he differentiated the 3, but then he also said they were closely related. I do plan on setting that forward in the writing though. I guess what I'm looking for is some systematic way of looking at the white space as opposed to just "feeling" them as I normally do. Any suggestions?
@Christopher: thanks for reading! I actually use the term thesis casually in that first post, which I probably shouldn't have done. It's actually a final project for our undergraduate level course. The interviews were written more casually in hopes that they'd be more interesting and readable. The actual project has more weight in the quality of the execution using the medium (web, application, feature video). And the website up there was a smaller class project that served as an impetus for this final project topic which I have yet to execute. You provide some very good points though, regarding the literature. I wanted something even more straightforward in the final site, something visitors would "get" within seconds and have the option to look into through something like a read more link. Any thoughts on that?
@hrant, I saw that you did work on non-roman scripts on the fonts on your site. How did you go about developing/analyzing the forms? Do you know of any resources I could look into for the evolution of brahmic scripts? The Philippines has an ancient one and i'd like to see of the forms may have trickled into the forms of the letterers.
Can I call them that btw, “letterers” any one-word alternatives to sign painters?
