Of all the pieces shown in this week's reading, 'For all seasons' (Muller) was my favorite. I thought it to be the most visually interesting and fun to interact with. Along with the visuals, the personalized anecdotes made the piece more intimate, and gave it more of an allure.

Of the four seasons, the 'winter' behavior appealed to me the most because of the serenity it instilled. The gentle falling of the letters made me think of the snowfall from when I was a boy. I felt that the complexity of the letterforms also reminded me of snowflakes, in that the sructure of each individual snowflake is a complexity in itself.

A special mention goes to 'fall' because it was the behavior most fun to interact with and visually interesting to watch. The fact that it sprang up from the text you had just finished reading added to the composition, unlike the 'spring' (dandelions) piece where the text faded out and went into the composition. (Also, I am wondering if it was the most difficult to code...)

'Summer' wasn't as fun to interact with, but was visually interesting because of the 'fishy' behavior of the words. And finally, my least favorite, was 'spring', where it didn't really engage me as much as 'fall' or 'winter'. I can't really explain why but I was a little bored of it after the initial 30 seconds.

As for the 'Letterscapes' piece, I enjoyed that one much more than his (Cho) other work 'Alphabet Zoo' simply because there was more interaction involved and was more visually appealing. Among my prefered characters in 'Letterscapes', Q and Z were the most fun to me. Z because it reminded me of an Atari trype of game, or much like Arkanoid from early gaming consoles (I'm still thinking of the Vintage Video Game Tournament!) and Q because it was fun to play with and is one of my favorite charcters within the alphabet.

Anyway, that is it for now... back to DB 4.
