Type Tuesday: What type are you?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Pentagram has an amusing site in which your personality traits determine your typeface. I’m “rational, understated, progressive, disciplined”… which according to their type psychologist means that I’m “courier”: the rhythmical and monospaced regularity of a typewriter. nice!

Abigail Reynolds, folded photographs
Posted in: Uncategorized
I came across these and found the relationship between Francisca Prieta’s work and Abigail Reynolds‘ quite interesting.
“I collect second hand tourist guides. Within the century of printed photographs that they contain, I search for plates that have been printed at similar scale, taken from a similar view point.
When I find a near match between book plates, I cut and fold the pages into a new single surface. The dates written on each work give the publication dates of the books I have used. Whichever has been used as the ‘base’ image is listed first.
The patterns I use to cut the two book pages into one single surface are such that all of both sheets of paper are preserved. If you were to fold all the flaps in or out, the entirety of each image will be seen. The act of folding one image into the other pushes them out into three dimensions in a bulging time ruffle.”
