Patricia’s Response to “Type and Image”

Posted on Wednesday 10 December 2008

In the “Type and Image” article I was really interested in the way of organizing space and the phrase energy of contrast.  I figure a major contrast is type and image, and so when I work on my project I will try and make the two harmonious. I liked how the author described in an understandable way how information can be transmitted through channel then put in a decoder and by those steps will reach its destination.  It was interesting for me to learn about this process because while it was talking about computers, I think it’s also how our minds work.   I was also focused on the “syntax of design” topic in the article because I found it interesting to think of the nuances in the language of design and how, by becoming aware of them, I can learn to use them correctly to better express the form and content I may wish to present.  Finally, the main consideration in text and how it interacts with image was that I hadn’t before thought of single letters as image, but had been thinking in terms of the entire word.  So, this gave me a new direction in the way I approach image as type and vice versa.
