These are the first prototypes for my new series Stacks. I'm still finalizing some of the parameters, but I'm happy with the initial direction on these. I also need to work out the thickness of the borders for when these are printed at scale.
Stacks
Taking a break from Albers Machine and cranking out code for a new project.
Foundations of Design - Chinese Translation
Whoa, I just received a Chinese translation of Foundations of Design. Here are a few sample pages.
The cover art was completely rebuilt. The arrangement of rectangles is slightly different and obviously in blues rather than grays and blacks. There's also some transparency going on. I might steal some of these ideas for my next series.
The title is slightly off, Foundation of Design rather than Foundations of Design. And the diagram labels were redone in Chinese as well. Pretty crazy stuff!
Albers Machine - Initial Prototypes
I think I have the software dialed in. These are the first prototypes for Albers Machine 1--algorithmically generated Homage to the Square variations.

Fundraising Update
I am truly humbled by the response so far to my project. I sent an email out on Tuesday with a goal to reach 25% of my funding target by the end of the week. Less than 48 hours later, we have almost tripled that goal. Your support has been overwhelming.
This is an all-or-nothing campaign however, so there’s still a little way to go to receive funding. It would be amazing to reach 100% of the target in the next few days. Then I can shift my focus to producing the work for the exhibition.
As always, your support through contributions and reblogs is greatly appreciated. We’re almost there!
