P3, W11, Rough, Diversions of Typographical Setting




Screen shots of an approach to the project, Diversions of Typographical Setting.

BACKGROUND:
What kinds of intervention in software can cause a user think critically on a process of typographical settings?

ASSUMPTIONS:
“Reflectives Lock” on a keyboard activates a supplement software.
“Reflectives Mode” through mouse-right-click activates a supplement software as well.
A supplement software has two sets of mode; objective mode and subjective mode.
In subjective mode, “Diversions of Typographical Setting” has check boxes under each distinctive.

The Reflective Mode claims to evaluate current conditions of typographical setting. The RM pauses a moment of a progression of typographical settings and provides a list of diversions. Diversions are alternatives for critical judgments of typographical settings.

The diversions can be updated, co-edited and ranked by users.

APPROACH:
1. access a supplement software through keyboard or mouse click.
2. select a subjective mode.
3. go through diversions under the subjective mode.
4. anticipate additional diversions.

CURRENT & NEXT STEP:
I wanted to set a scenario of alternatives in typographical setting. I thought what if I can approach my inquiry with only words (manual task) without numerals (default set). I thought typographical setting through words rises intuitive senses and interrupts preoccupied judgments. Further possible scenario, for instance, can be add secondly options (badly or goodly) at a judgmental word (Grotesque). If so, it is possible to get “goodly Grotesque.” Or a judgmental word can be intertwined with other diversion words in other lines.

Even though my approach can be written in diversions, feedback of diversions can not be proven (I am not sure how this trial really influence actual type set). Perhaps, in this context, puzzle-like wordings are a value of reflective own judgment in process. I want to discuss about a concept/representation of diversions. How can diversions be embedded in the physical processes involving the physical handing of the medium?
