So can you read the sign on this hotel in Florence, Italy?

Ok, it reads Gallery. Great sign isn’t it?

This is a nice illustration isn’t it? It was made by Jonathan Puckey and I guess he didn’t made it by hand. Jonathan does a lot of his work with Scriptographer, a free Adobe Illustrator scripting plugin. Remember his amazing Delaunay Raster? So I think he wrote a custom script to do this CMYK felt tip raster illustration.

Karsten Schmidt (a.k.a. Toxi) was commissioned by PRINT Magazine to create his own generative letterforms for the August 2008 cover. He used the Gray-Scott reaction diffusion model in a Processing sketch (an open source programming language) to generate a 3D typographical model. That 3D file was then printed with a 3D printer and photographed for the cover. You can read a short interview with him at the PRINT Magazine website. In this Flickr set you can find more photos and images of the whole process.


Here is a video of an early Processing sketch, the 2D frames where later stacked to a 3D model.
