Four Letter Words

Four Letter Words from Rob Seward on Vimeo.

it's nice when you come across something that's relevant to work your doing.
Word association is something i'm exploring to further 'Words of Numbers'

"Four Letter Words is an installation made by Rob Seward. It consists of four units, each capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet with an arrangement of fluorescent lights. The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association."

HG Wells book covers

Brief:
Design a stunning and contemporary cover look for one of the 20th Century’s most acclaimed authors, HG Wells
Creative Challenge:
Known mostly for his Science Fiction writing, HG Wells also wrote incredible social novels that are still relevant today, covering topics such as the mid-life crisis, class, feminism, materialism, consumerism and love.

Description:
I wanted to strip the books down to their bare bones and effectively re-title them. The new ‘titles’ are well known sayings that give a prospective buyer a very basic idea of what the main plot is about. As HG Wells is predominantly known for his science fiction writing, I felt that this would be an appropriate method to clearly show they were not from this genre. It also aims encourage a new reader base for Wells’ novels.

The dust jackets are double sided, the front being treated typographically in relation to what the book has been ‘re-titled’ to. The back is more illustrative, reflecting another element of the story the main character has to deal with or is involved in.
