MAS962 Problem Set 7
Chloe Chao
Due: October 31, 1997

1. Read Chapter 7. Explain why the typographic grid is a useful
concept. Can you think of any aspects of the grid useful for writing
computational codes?
2. Create the modified classic mas962 applet with the
TextArea input, button to transform the text in the TextArea, and a
Panel to display graphical output. When text is input, label the
following consonantal occurences: (note that these mappings are not
completely accurate as there are sounds like 'j' where that can imply
both the beginning and ends of the word "judge". for the sake of this
class i believe that they are sufficient. i guess you could also spell
the words literally to be accurate "juj").
3. Using the framework of (2), and staying within a
monochromatic palette, use your typeface(s) of PS4 and PS5 to
visualize and emphasize the consonantal sounds described above.
Recall that you have 2 parameters to choose from, "noise" and
"blur". Also recall that you have the 3rd dimension of "time" that can
be very useful.
Back to the rest of my problem sets.
