How to draw yourself with text (abstract only)

Published: 24 January 2010 Publication History

Abstract

We describe a studio proposal wherein participants will draw portraits of themselves with text using gestural typesetting software. TextDraw is an application, recently developed at The Banff Centre, which provides multilinear control over the creation of typographic works through gesture-based interfaces. In this studio, participants will be introduced to the idea of gestural typesetting as a technique that diverges radically from modern practice. Participants will work with and explore the functionality of TextDraw while producing print and screen-based self-portraits drawn using images and text of their choosing. This studio will also engage participants in a creative session that looks at the future possibilities for new forms of typesetting tools.
