Post 1


I found this design at typetheory.com. Grafik Tasarim is the leading graphic design magazine in Turkey best known for design news, research and educational articles.I like the way the designer collaborated with an artist to form a lowercase “a” with human muscles and and also the anatomy of a standard letter. This image was built by hand and 3D computer generated images created with Maya and Zbrush. I am typically drawn to designs that take extreme effort, I like to see that the designer has devoted everything he or she has to the design and it fascinates me. I can see that the designer went way out of his was to recreate a common vowel in such a new way. It reminds me of the work of Christo and Juanne-Claude in the way they allow you to focus your attention on something you often overlook. Kudo's to this designer, he has officially inspired me!
