The second example I chose is called ‘TypeDrawing’ created by storyabout.net. There were a few variations I found of this sort of project, where the user is creating/ drawing a pictorial image using only type. Many of the examples that I found were pretty basic, and pretty much equal out to a basic version of Adobe Illustrator. With this work, there is more of an emphasis on the process in which you create the work rather than the final work. With ‘Type Drawing’ the user inserts a body of text and to be used by the program.They are able to choose which typeface is used and the scale of the grey. The aspect that I enjoy the most about this work is that the user is able to manipulate the scale of the type with the speed in which they draw on the surface area provided. Through experimentation, I have seen that this creates great depth to the letters that appear on the screen. A final aspect that I think is worth mentioning is the archive that or gallery that is also featured on the project site. There, we are able to view and comment on the works of others that are not just presented, but played over an instance of time.
