In brainstorming for this tour of Cedar City project I couldn't stop thinking about typography literally & seeing actual letter forms. I asked myself what makes the letterforms interesting? Is it the actual marks made that creates interest or the white space around it? The negative space around each letterform makes it legible. More or less white space creates a different affect to how the letterform appears & the overall feeling.
I'd like to think of Cedar City as an actual letterform & snow as the white space. Depending on how much snow Cedar has can determine ones overall feeling of Cedar City. Or, snow in the surrounding areas can make Cedar City a more or less appealing place to visit.
i think this is a great idea to explore.. especially since i have heard so many times that a letter is not so defined by its positive space as its negative.
