MICHELLE PARK
FINAL DELIVERABLE
ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY
FALL 2016
The purpose of the final project
was to work with typography in 3 dimension.
The phrases, material, space, and execution
had to be coherent as one complete idea.
I took a personal approach into starting this project,
and decided to work with the idea of fitness.
At first, I was merely focused on
the visual aspects of the installation
and was not quite sure of why or how I was to use
the materials imagined in the space and time given.
However, I took time off to look at the project as a broader picture
and it really helped me to think differently
and made me realize what I had been missing.
Before, my project seemed in a way pointless
or it seemd as if there were multiple parts
to it without any connections.
The led lights will be individually
installed on the walls of workout spaces,
and as a workout class goes on,
the lights will start to 'fill up'
or change color in different patterns
and colors according to the amount of workout
the class has done.
This can be measured in accumulated time, distance, or calories.
Or, it could work with the music sequence and patterns.
By the time the workout is over, the words will be completely filled.
So, in keeping the similar theme and idea,
I decided to incorporate my innitial idea
and really make it into something realistic for real life
- functionality and design combined.
