Experimental Object typography

Vladimir Koncar

I think that this experimental object typography titled typography hurts because its simple, clever and quite bold, its laid out in a very professional manner. This piece was created using a font created by Vladimir Koncar as part of his experimental cactus type, which he made by taking photos of cacti arranged into the shape of letters against a piece of paper.

My Response

I did this piece of object typography by using Jenga pieces to spell out the word Jenga, I found the fact that the pieces say Jenga on them as well quite interesting as the way I have placed the pieces, the words on the pieces are shaped to spell out Jenga.

To make this piece I took the change from my pocket and counted it and used the change to write out the exact price of the money, I attempted to create a Pound sign but did not have enough change to write out that and still create the number. The 9 is entirely made of 1 pence pieces and is 9 pence, the 8 is entirely made of 20 pence pieces, and the 4 is made of the rest of the coins. To have improved this piece I would have created the pound sign out of change as well, made it bigger, and made the pounds number out of pound coins and used a two pound coin for the decimal place.
