For Type class, we had to create images out of letterforms for a type children's book. Although I've seen some pretty awesome designs from my classmates, designer Katerina Orlikova has taken this concept one step further. She has made skeletons of animals out of type and then has animated them running. At first it doesn't seem that it could be type, but on further investigation, it becomes evident. With exclamation points for limbs and brackets for ribs, it makes you wonder about the detail that has gone into making this small reel. She also has many other interesting projects including a set of kaleidoscopes that use different styles of type inside as well as a Kama Sutra that uses only numbers forms to convey its visual messages. She has certainly helped me look at the different possibilities that exist for type in design.
