Cino3426: /* Final Project - Geks Logogram Creator */

== Homework 1 - Wild Type - OK GO Typography ==

[[Image:Wildt_okgo.png|thumb|left|150px]] 

This is homework assignment for Wild Type, I wanted to create a block of letters to experiment with how they can line up correctly. The thin lines initially acted as guides, but I liked the look so I left them in.

== Homework 2 ==

===Part 1===

[[Image:majorapic.png|thumb|left|150px]] 

This font was an edit of the FrequencyFont that comes included with the Fontastic library. I based the glyph design off of the [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/e/e8/Four_Giants.png Four Giants] from Zelda. The data for the frequency comes from the frequency of letters in German, instead of the frequency of letters used in English as shown on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency this page] 

The font and Processing project can be downloaded from my GitHub [https://github.com/markeisenberg/ProcessingProjects/tree/master/MajoraGiant here]

 
 
 

=== Part 2 ===

[[Image:strings.png|thumb|left|150px]] 

Unfortunately, I was not able to code the functionality to export the font from the program. As a compromise, I had to include the feature to export as png and pdf file formats respectively using the SHIFT key. This font is a further development of a sample font from the [http://freeartbureau.org/fab_activity/geomerative-tutorial-part-1/ Geomerative tutorial library]. 

The processing project can be downloaded from my GitHub [https://github.com/markeisenberg/ProcessingProjects/tree/master/RollingStrings here] 

 

== Homework 3 ==

[[Image:snow.png|thumb|left|150px]] 

A simple animation that has a happy Christmas feel to it. It makes use of animation sequences created using the Ani library.

== Homework 4 - Geks Logogram Writing System ==
This font is called 'Geks' and is a primative writing system was inspired by [http://www.omniglot.com/writing/mayan.htm Mayan logograms]. There are two processing files. The first simply displays a list of the logograms loaded from SVGs with their meanings or context in which the logograms can be used. The second is a mash-up between the RiTa haiku generator and the Geks writing system.

I chose to use SVGs as I did not have time to hand-code all of the necessary shapes for the logograms.

How it works:
* The logograms are loaded as SVGs into Processing
* When the user clicks the mouse, the HaikuGenerator generates a haiku. The program checks against preset words. If the words are located in the haiku, the matching SVGs are displayed.

Things I would do differently:
* I would try to use different methods to actually convert my logograms into a usable font. PShapes were attempted in this project, but would not look as I had originally desired, so SVGs were chosen instead.
* Order the logograms correctly on the output of the haiku. They currently load randomly, which is not the desired result.
* Some SVGs do not display. This is likely due to the logic of the 'if statements', and would need to be modified to work correctly.

== Homework 5 - 3D Font ==

Exploration of 3D Fonts and alternative ways to look at multiple fonts. 3D Fonts created as .stl files within Antimony, imported into Meshmixer to reduce file size considerably and finally output as .obj for Processing project.

== Homework 6 - OCR using OpenCV ==

Doubled the original OpenCV grid from 7 to 14 to create more detailed letters, used here to spell out "M-A-K-E". Some letters don't orientate correctly, but are still recognised. Also included is a representation of the "man" hieroglyph from my Geks writing system.

My final project was a continuation of Homework 4. Initially I was going to build it within Processing, but I was more interested in developing it as a web application. It can be found online [http://markeisenberg.org/WildType/index.html here]

A short sample story written in Geks can be found [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PXhu72rFoWga_a9ynjUnF7mkJPfEH2mgeBUyqk6KScQ/edit?usp=sharing here] as a presentation.

== Description ==
Typography plays a huge role in media art and design.
But the tools typographers use on their computers still imitate the 15th century printing press.
In "Wild Type" we will get to know tools and programming languages for generative typography. We will learn how to apply parametric design principles to font design, how to evolve fonts with genetic algorithms inside the computer, how to animate them and make them come alive.

We will also learn how to use methods of machine learning and image recognition to identify and generate typographical structures.
As part of this course we will also touch upon the field of speculative typography, and develop writing systems that plants and other nonhumans might use in their communication.

== Beschreibung ==
Typographie spielt in Medienkunst und -gestaltung eine große Rolle.
Allerdings imitieren die Werkzeuge der Schriftgestaltung am Computer noch immer die Druckerpresse aus dem 15. Jahrhundert.
In "Wild Type" lernen die Studenten wie man Prinzipen des parametrischen Designs auf Buchstaben anwendet, wie man mit genetischen Algorithmen Fonts im Computer züchten kann, und wie man Buchstaben animieren und zu interaktivem Leben erwecken kann.

Außerdem lernen sie Methoden der automatischen Bilderkennung kennen, mit denen man typographische Strukturen in der Natur entdecken kann.
Im Rahmen des Kurses werden wir auch mit spekulativer Typographie in Berührung kommen, und dabei Schriften für die Kommunikation zwischen Pflanzen und anderen nicht-menschlichen Wesen und Mechanismen entwickeln.
