Artist Link: Sam Winston

Following the tutorial we decided to further explore the typographical element to the brief by looking at the work of Sam Winston. Here is a selection of his work and a link to his website.

"Through his explorations of language Sam Winston creates sculpture, drawings and books that question our understanding of words, both as a carriers of messages and as information itself."

overview of tutorial

ian- just so your up to date on what was said in the tutorial, basically the main thing we need to explore nw is typography. Jon suggested us looking at 'concrete poetry' and also 'sam winston'....play around with type, could b in the shape of our mountain on the homepage, think about ways it could be displayed eg curves left in snow by snowboard..... This is what we need to start looking at and have a few visuals done by mon (use concrete poetry as reference) its useful for inspiration.

only wanted you both to see this website, because when the mouse hovers over the circles, they change colour....gave me the idea for our flags. they could change colour when the user wants to click on a certain one.

also the website for a good snowboarding site

idea

i thought of something similiar to ur idea of the tricks, i thought could have a sloped mountain, the mouse could hover over the snowboarder and would appear in colour, whereas before it would just be a black outline. I thought about the character could go up a mountain via a ski lift, reaching certain targets (which are the facts) ...

Another couple of tasty images

other idea

10 things you need to know about this ski resort blaa blaa....?

Could select certain peaks and the different colour runs will appear - text could appear in the direction of the runs. idea of typography

could just select blue/red/black runs and they will all appear - running down from the top?

Initial ideas

Could have something like this - each character could be faded and then highlights normal colour when scrolled over. and information could appear. (step by step how to do trick)

Could have it so each time you roll over person the colour of person fades and the outline is the shape of the text?
