D Letterpress Print Designed byTed Davis
 
"My approach for the letter ‘D’ began with creativecoding, aiming to design something that I wouldn’t have imagined when using the mouse. This process began with p5.js, live-coding via P5LIVE, creating two 32x32 pixel layers that matched the dimensions of the provided LEGO® base-plate. On the first layer, a single ‘D’ was drawn. On the second layer, a checkerboard pattern of alternating colors was given to each pixel, while at the same time reactiving if that pixel landed on the f irst layer’s ‘D’. An animated version helped explore the range of potential outputs, before returning back to the f irst result of just two colors, where the illusion was its strongest. The colorful 32x32 grid was then exported into a data format (JSON), which was programmatically applied to the provided InDesign template using basil.js to automatically place the LEGO® 1x1 blocks on the grid and set the correct swatch color."
 
This individual unnumbered letterpress print was created for the edition A2Z: Learning Through Lego© and Letterforms by Pedro Neves, Amira Hegazy and Shannon Morrissey.  This edition was printed on a Vandercook Universal I. An extremely limited amount of individual prints are available.
