The 
                    Little Book of Origins is the fruition of an exploration 
                    into creative typography in the form of an independent study 
                    course at the University of Denver. This little site is a 
                    bit of documentation of the creation and evolution of the 
                    book, as would seem appropriate, especially considering that 
                    this course is part of the Digital Media Studies graduate 
                    program at DU. 
                  In 
                    addition to this book, the independent study also involved 
                    creating an expanded version of the Icelandic saga Ragnars 
                    Saga Lodbrokar (translated by Chris VanDyke) which had 
                    been produced for a previous typography course and the creation 
                    of three hardbound versions of the saga. However, this site 
                    is not about that. The saga doesn't get its own website. 
                  If 
                    for some reason you would like to view this book of origins 
                    after seeing this site, please contact Nils 
                    Thingvall. He's the guy who did this thing after all.  |
