A group of seven graduating students teamed up and created a book that feautures each of out dissertation works photocopied straight onto the paper, keeping the original design and stylistic imposition we each gave to our own thesis). The design intervention was very little for this project. In fact, all we did as a group was to work on the layout for the cover and introduction pages, choose the typeface, medium, form and binding to be used as well as defining the methodology according to which we would categorize and re-order each thesis work. The cover features a word from each of the seven dissertation. The word is typeset in the same way as it originally was in each thesis cover. A superscript number indicates the running order of the seven thesis in the book itself, functioning as an index as well as a footnote - where the full title & author's name appear. <img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/IMG_2149.jpg" width="670" height="1004" width_o="2048" height_o="3071" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/IMG_2149_o.jpg" data-mid="28059690" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/2.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="700" height_o="467" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/2_o.jpg" data-mid="28059774" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/1.png" width="575" height="404" width_o="575" height_o="404" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/1_o.png" data-mid="28059769" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/4.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="700" height_o="467" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/4_o.jpg" data-mid="28059788" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/3.png" width="588" height="401" width_o="588" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/5217677/3_o.png" data-mid="28059784" border="0" align="left"/> This book is a collection of thesis from graphic design students at UEL.

This paper is an investigation into remediation trends in the realm of contemporary art and design. The analysis will extend into a methodology of the reuse of both the mere materiality of technological media devices and their operative modes. I will approach the topic under the umbrella of media archaeology, a branch of media studies devoted to alternative media discourses. Media archaeology is a methodical way for excavating repressed or forgotten devices and remediation practices, as well as an artistic modus operandi close to bricolage culture, software ⁄ hardware hacking, circuit bending and other Do-It-Yourself ⁄ -Together exercises.

These symbols are known as characters and often include letters, numbers and marks of various types. They are usually recorded onto a durable medium such as paper or electronic storage. Punctuation marks are symbols that indicate the structure and organisation of written language, as well as intonation and pauses to be observed when reading aloud. Certain aspects of punctuation are stylistic and are thus the author’s (or editor’s) choice, while others are drawing from centuries of tradition and practice in the field of written communication. The diagram shows the usage of some of the most common punctuation marks among predominant scripts at the national level in the world today - with a few selected regional and minority scripts. While being as accurate as possible, this is solely one representation of the widespread usage of a range of punctuation marks currently utilised in the Western world. A few exceptional marks have been added where relevant. <img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958383/ace2.png" width="670" height="538" width_o="1000" height_o="803" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958383/ace2_o.png" data-mid="28060029" border="0" align="left"/> Here vinyl cut and sticked onto wall! <img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958383/PunctuationVinyl.png" width="670" height="913" width_o="751" height_o="1024" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958383/PunctuationVinyl_o.png" data-mid="28059996" border="0" align="left"/> [work in progress - needs laser cutting and projection mapping] A writing system is an organized regular method of information storage and transfer for the... http://cargocollective.com/ruffnuff/Interpunctionis http://cargocollective.com/ruffnuff/following/ruffnuff/Interpunctionis Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:17:21 +0000 Francesco Tacchini 4958298 University project. Serigraphy. Interpunctionis, latin for ‘punctuation’, is an informative project. A range of punctuation marks currently used in different cultures around the world are here collected. The scripts this signs belong to widely vary. However, despite the great differences between the given writing systems, the orthographical similarities are more than one would think. The aim of this small project is then to show some of the key orthographical differences between currently used writing systems and reveal some less known marks. The collection is made up of: set 1 focuses mainly on those marks ruling the pauses to be observed when reading aloud. Set 2 brings light onto some interesting uncommon punctuation marks. In set 3 some of the marks used when quoting and citing are represented. Finally, the reading directions in different scripts and an image of the first known example of punctuation marks usage in the history of humanity make up set 4. <img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958298/punctuationSet.jpg" width="670" height="473" width_o="1024" height_o="723" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958298/punctuationSet_o.jpg" data-mid="28060088" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958298/Screen shot 2013-02-11 at 02.45.44.png" width="624" height="608" width_o="624" height_o="608" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/7/234907/4958298/Screen shot 2013-02-11 at 02.45.44_o.png" data-mid="26542455" border="0" align="left"/> University project.
