Project 1 final

Through analysis of a gothic typeface, specifically the letter O, I have created a composition that describes the formal make-up of the letter and utilizes a three dimensional model to tie in my discoveries to the original two dimensional base. The letter is made of two identical pieces that are split at the line of the stress of the letter. If one of the pieces is rotated and shifted it completes the origin letter. The two dimensional pattern is a diagram of that rotation, and the three dimensional model is an extrusion of the parts of the pattern so that the individual parts are rotating up and around a central tower; of which, the cross-section is composed of the letter O.
