Development to the Final Output in Processing

Exploring the code towards my final print was a very long process a I had to figure out the best possible way to read the text. It involved getting each letter out of the text the best possible way in regards to the dots, lines and colours. Then taking all the pdf's into Photoshop to create the text.

With the following examples I have experimented with number of dots in regards to size of the letter, size of dots in regards of size of the letter, line distance and colours. From a selection of about 3 for each I chose 1 I liked most (not all are visualised are). As part of the exploring process I looked at sections of the words, especially ones that are repeated such as 'ss', 'em' or 'bly'. With this i found even though the letters were clear it looked a bit odd without being able to kern it.

Some full size ones as you can't really see the differences with the collected letters representations. Here you can also see the different sizes I was working with, this I scaled often down to actually work on the poster but to get a nice shape working with a larger size was easiest. Also I looked for connected and disconnected parts the most when choosing the letters linking it with the 'Assembly and Disassembly' of the poster.
