Topology: The Geometry That Isn’t

seth — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:51:36 +0000

This poster was created for a lecture on the topic of topology. While researching the practice I stumbled upon this quote from wikipedia

“An introductory exercise is to classify the uppercase letters of the English alphabet according to homeomorphism and homotopy equivalence. The result depends partially on the font used.”

Based on this I thought an interesting exercise would to be to create a typeface consisting of only the uppercase. This face would be designed with topological equivalence in mind. This poster was the result.

I love Sounds are Active Records in Long Beach. They have consistently put out some of the more forward thinking free jazz, electronic music and avante garde rock in recent years. Having developed a friendship with Chris Schlarb over the years I was delighted to design the cover for this split release.

Obscure shapes coming together to make a whole, that’s how I think of jazz. Well… the best jazz anyway.

The USC School of Architecture recently created a new foundation to expose student in the United States to design in Asia. The American Academy in China organizes exchange programs between architecture students at USC and various institutions throughout China. This poster/brochure was meant to encourage student to apply for the program and explain the curriculum. I felt the idea of western and eastern design philosophy intermingling could be expressed by borders being undone, the globe in effect dissolving and becoming a single location.

Make Something is a charity organization envision by Aaron Rose and supported by Kanye West. Make Something exists to fill the ever increasing gap between education and art in public school around the world. Through holding works shops with renown artists such as Shepard Fairey, Miranda July and Terry Richardson, Make Something! shows students first hand the practical and important values of being creative throughout their lives.

This short promotional book was designed with the intent of gathering further funding for the organization. It showed examples of student works and logistical plans for helping the art community thrive through it’s programs. This book was produced in extremely small numbers and was given out privately.
