Design & Rhetoric // Outcome

For Unit 1 I dissected a poem. Whilst exploring different aspects of the poem like, grammar, rhyme scheme and other parts of speech I came across the phonetic transcription. Throughout my experiments which are documented in Visual Summary # 1, I

was exploring the “gap” between the wr itten and the spoken word, and questioned myself how the written word meets the requirements of the spoken word. Most of the experiments where based on overlaying but my intension was to make both, the written and the word how we pronounce it clearly, visible.

I could not find a satisfying answer but the experiment in the image on the left page ref lects the subject matter in a ver y appropriate manner.

The space between the printed and the pierced letter represents the “gap”. This gab also suggests space for interpretation. I decided to repeat this experiment and apply the technique onto a complete sentence. I regard this line of text as a ver y interesting provisional outcome for Design & Rhetoric.

Whereat my focussed aspect for my design research gets explained and explored in visual summary # 3.
