Experimental Photomanipulations
An experinental project by Paul Hollingworth.
“A series of self-initiated images titled ‘Form minus Function’.
It’s fair to say that type and ink only ever meet on a printed page. In this series of images, the two elements are presented to us in a way that is a little more unusual. Images of black and white ink in water are accompanied by small typographical letters to generate strange yet captivating forms that appear to float effortlessly in the air.
A contemporary tribute to traditional methods of print.”

This was a poster i designed for the visiting lecturer spin design at leeds met university i went with a very obvious typographic approach and a adaptation of the word spin and motion and turned the lecture information into a mathematical formula to go along with the concept. The restrictions to the poster itself was black and a selected colour chosen by the lecture/lectures which applied to all the posters in the visiting lecture series so a thought going along with spins work a simple typographic approach was best road to go down. just if you didnt get the information by first glance there is a signature in the top left corner with all the information in.

Never Forever Never for Now
Designed by The Luxury of Protest.
“A quantitative visualisation of the transient nature of empire. The visualisation graphs all known empires, colonies and territorial occupations from 2334 BCE to the present day. Each empire occupies a slice of the pie graph with a known start (+) and end (×) date. Each slice is assigned a transparency value of 10% allowing for concurrent empires to be visualised – the more empires that occupy the same period of time in history, the whiter the graph. As history progresses, humankind’s competition for wealth, resources and the relentless drive toward conquest and occupation can be clearly seen in the graph.”
