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. |
