Views on typography
Note
Last week I stumbled upon the works of Rhett Dashwood. For his 2009 project Google Maps Typography, he browsed the state Victoria (Australia) to discover land formations or buildings resembling letter forms. As an extra he added placemarks and links to every letter used.
Mr. Dashwood’s project reminded me of the Type The Sky alphabet by Lisa Rienermann. In 2005 she used the negative space in-between the houses of Barcelona to form the 26 characters. There is obvious similarity in the approach and the outcome, they literally had complete different points of view though.
