A student asks me a question about #optimisation and #nesting so i'm back into "16 Case stories, re-imagining the practice of layout" with @colm @Femke @Ludi #OpenSourcePublishing
Published in 2012
"a catalogue put together as part of an attempt to rethink #layout tools, and features case stories that range from historical to present, on to the imaginary and speculative. The ‘camera-ready copy’ of this book was created on a pen #plotter: this has required a rethinking of the workflow, including a special font stack built upon engraving tools, to be able to use stroke based fonts."
Tools: #ActiveArchives, #LibreOffice, #Inkscape, Custom #Herschey Inkscape plugin, #Roland pen plotter, laser printer, glue and scissors. Printing: Risograph and Roland Pen Plotter.

CoverAn extract from manual text placement on a map with an attempt to imagine algorithm for automatic text placement which produce the same interweaving."Vector declutch Ludi Loiseau. drawing for Ligue based on isotype This image was drawn in llustrator. The top image is o screenshot from the wireframe preview, exposing the actual construction of the vector image. The image below is a preview of the rendered output. The image is the result of o mix of overlaps, linestyles and other transformations. Some of these steps are “baked”. or disengaged . meaning their transformations cre processed into an actuel stroke. Others are live effects opplied to vector-objects. The two images were juxtaposed because we needed to check if the drawing would not produce problems in production. Machines such as lasercutters and plotters, produce output based on the actual stroke of the image. How about? There could be an in-between view where wireframe and final rendering would be overlayed. It would be useful to expose more of the intermediate steps between the construction of the wireframe and how they are processed."An article on "Multi-level type design" and another on "Nested interface optimisation"
