a peek at NAC February 2007

concept piece (spinonym): singularity
.

We have seen many beautiful work involving spinonyms - words with letters made up of similar glyphs or characters. One thing about most of them is that each glyph represents only one letter, and the longest one we've seen (do point us to where a longer one might exist) is Tom Banwell's 'sneeze' (6 glyps:6 letters). We've done a '5senses' one too (7 glyphs:7 letters). But this design - word inspired by the John Langdon-inspired NAC - is an 8 glyphs: 11 letters one.

NAC update:

nagfa has collected the entries and is now having the unenviable task of choosing (only, unfortunately) the best 10 designs to be given to John Langdon for comments. Our criteria would be: concept originality, brilliant letter(s) solutions, overall presentation. We will only post the entries after receiving the widely-anticipated comments from John Langdon, which we hope we are able to fulfil in early April.

.

Meanwhile, NAC April will be a special - albeit less-prestiged - challenge: one artist with the winning design will be the guest challenger for NAC May!

.

In the meantime, all the best of health and success to all..
