Michelle Schipper
“As a graphic designer, I like to work with systems and constraints. Therefore, in my graduate work ‘A Network of Dots and Lines’, I used mathematical Graph Theory. According to the theory, an object consists of a fixed number of connection points and lines, which in different compositions can represent the same object. Using this theory, I reconstructed each letter of the alphabet in an alternate form. By identifying the number of points and lines, a letter can be traced back to its original form. In my work, five alternate fonts were created using this system.”
