THESIS PROJECT 5 | type setting v.3

1. Archer Light for sub-head, Bauhaus Medium for head
and ITC Quorum BT for body.

2. Memphis Light for sub-head, Bauhaus Medium for head
and ITC Quorum BT for body.
3. Alexandria FLF Regular for sub-head, Bauhaus Medium for head
and ITC Quorum BT for body.
4. ITC Lubalin Graph BT Extra Light for sub-head, Bauhaus Medium for head
and ITC Quorum BT for body.

Here is typography setting version 3. I thought Lubalin and Alexandria FLF is works for me. And Memphis looks not bad. I think Lubalin looks better, but Alexandria is more unique. Agree?

THESIS PROJECT 5 | imagery




Honestly, I am not sure what is this for. But I am looking for different direction for work at the common place where is filled with many people. There is going to make Human Interaction btw people anywhere. (As I mentioned before, It will be some kind of campaign or advertising for print.) I am thinking on doing works with lighting. (It is not from people directly, but showing and representing 'Interaction' from people.)

Here is image for more thinking so far.

THESIS PROJECT 3 | research

A language is a dynamic set of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of communicationthe elements used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Language is considered to be an exclusively human mode of communication; although other animals make use of quite sophisticated communicative systems, none of these are known to make use of all of the properties that linguists use to define language.

Visual
Nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless messages. Such messages can be communicated through gesture; body language or posture; facial expression and eye contact; object communication such as clothing, hairstyles or even architecture; symbols and infographics. Speech may also contain nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Likewise, written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the use of emoticons. However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on face-to-face interaction, where it can be classified into three principal areas:

1. environmental conditions where communication takes place
2. the physical characteristics of the communicators
3. behaviors of communicators during interaction


* Kinesics

Information about the relationship and affect of these two skaters is communicated by their body posture, eye gaze and physical contact. Kinesics is the study of body movements, facial expressions, and gestures. Kinesic behaviors include mutual gaze, smiling, facial warmth or pleasantness, childlike behaviors, direct body orientation, and the like. Birdwhistell proposed the term kineme to describe a minimal unit of visual expression, in analogy to a phoneme which is a minimal unit of sound.

-Posture
Posture can be used to determine a participant’s degree of attention or involvement, the difference in status between communicators, and the level of fondness a person has for the other communicator. Studies investigating the impact of posture on interpersonal relationships suggest that mirror-image congruent postures, where one person’s left side is parallel to the other’s right side, leads to favorable perception of communicators and positive speech; a person who displays a forward lean or a decrease in a backwards lean also signify positive sentiment during communication. Posture is understood through such indicators as direction of lean, body orientation, arm position, and body openness.

-Gesture
A wink is a type of gesture. A gesture is a non-vocal bodily movement intended to express meaning. They may be articulated with the hands, arms or body, and also include movements of the head, face and eyes, such as winking, nodding, or rolling one's eyes. The boundary between language and gesture, or verbal and nonverbal communication, can be hard to identify.

Gestures can be also be categorised as either speech-independent or speech-related. Speech-independent gestures are dependent upon culturally accepted interpretation and have a direct verbal translation. A wave hello or a peace sign are examples of speech-independent gestures. Speech related gestures are used in parallel with verbal speech; this form of nonverbal communication is used to emphasize the message that is being communicated. Speech related gestures are intended to provide supplemental information to a verbal message such as pointing to an object of discussion.
A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication made with a part of the body, used instead of or in combination with verbal communication. The language of gesture allows individuals to express a variety of feelings and thoughts, from contempt and hostility to approval and affection. Most people use gestures and body language in addition to words when they speak. The use of gesture as language by some ethnic groups is more common than in others, and the amount of such gesturing that is considered culturally acceptable varies from one location to the next.
Other types of gestures are the ones we use when we speak. These gestures are closely coordinated with speech.

Auditory

Verbal communication is the scientific study of language, encompassing a number of sub-fields. An important topical division is between the study of language structure (grammar) and the study of meaning (semantics). Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words combine into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones), non-speech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived.

Tactile

*Haptics
A high five is an example of communicative touch. Haptics is the study of touching as nonverbal communication. Touches that can be defined as communication include handshakes, holding hands, kissing (cheek, lips, hand), back slapping, high fives, a pat on the shoulder, and brushing an arm. Touching of oneself during communication may include licking, picking, holding, and scratching. These behaviors are referred to as "adaptor" and may send messages that reveal the intentions or feelings of a communicator. The meaning conveyed from touch is highly dependent upon the context of the situation, the relationship between communicators, and the manner of touch.
