This work treats typography as a physical artifact rather than a symbolic system.

The letter “A” is constructed from thick soap-glass, where color appears through optical refraction and internal reflection.
Air bubbles are trapped within the material, introducing natural irregularity without decoration.

A study of form, light and material behavior.

$Capital letter A made from thick iridescent soap-glass with trapped air bubbles, shown on a black background with reflective surface, highlighting refraction and optical depth.$

The first issue of a sparkly new journal called 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 has been published! It's the journal of the Design Research Society, the academic association for the field of design research. https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/DES/current

This study treats typography as a physical body.

The letter is formed as a single cast metal object —
no parts, no joints, no assembly logic.

Material behavior defines the form.
Not styling.
Not symbolism.

#Typography #3DType #MaterialStudy #DesignResearch

Capital letter B formed as a seamless polished metal object, slightly rotated in 3D space, with smooth reflective chrome surface on a minimal light background.

C — Inflated typography study.

A capital letter formed by contained air and surface tension.
Creases and deformation expose internal pressure within a strict geometric form.

Typography approached as a physical system, not a graphic sign.

#Typography #3DType #MaterialStudy #DesignResearch #Photorealism

Capital letter C rendered as a black inflated soft object with visible creases and surface tension, shown on a white studio background with subtle reflection.

E — Honeycomb typography study.

A capital letter built from hexagonal wax cells.
Honey appears only where gravity allows it to escape.

This work explores typography as a physical object, focusing on material behavior, density and structure rather than symbolism.

#Typography #3DType #MaterialStudy #DesignResearch #Photorealism

Capital letter E made from natural honeycomb with hexagonal wax cells and dripping golden honey, rendered in photorealistic 3D style on a dark studio background.

📣 Attention, DIS community!
We’re one month away from the paper and pictorial submission deadlines for DIS 2026.
DIS 2026 is happening in person only!

📝 Title & Abstract due: January 9, 2026
📄 Full Paper & Pictorial due: January 19, 2026

The submission portal opens December 15, 2025.
We’re excited to see the ideas you’ll bring to Beyond Interaction! 🌏✨

G — Natural Layers, Typographic Form

A floating capital G made from layered green cabbage leaves.
Photorealistic material study focusing on organic structure, depth and natural form.
Typography inspired by growth, not grids.

Floating capital letter G made from layered green cabbage leaves, showing natural cross-section structure, organic textures and fine leaf veins, rendered in a minimal light grey 3D studio background with soft shadow and realistic lighting.

H — concrete, not cosmetic.
This letter isn’t styled.
It’s fractured.

Cast like architecture, not typography.
Edge broken, stress visible, rebar exposed.

Concrete letter H with a broken upper edge and exposed rebar, rendered as an architectural visualization on a neutral background.

✨ Heads up, researchers & designers! ✨

If you're submitting a paper or pictorial, remember:
🗓 Title & abstract are due on Jan 9, 2025
(10 days before your full submission!)

The paper submission portal will be open on Dec. 15, 20225.

[Neuropsicología del Color]

El rojo (#FF0000) tiene máxima activación en corteza visual y amígdala.

Problema: densidad de estímulos rojos superó umbral de habituación.

Resultado: el cerebro lo filtra como ruido cognitivo.

Solución: contraste contextual > saturación cromática.

Der Designer Benjamin Wengert (Hochschule Pforzheim) stellt mit seinem Projekt „Design for Nothing“ eine radikale Frage: Was bleibt, wenn Gestaltung nichts hervorbringen will – kein Produkt, keine Lösung, keine Aussage?

Wengert zeigt, dass „Nichts“ kein Scheitern bedeutet, sondern ein Zustand der Offenheit, in dem Neues überhaupt erst entstehen kann.
