WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
Posted by Billy
We are always interested to see what the students of The Northern School Of Design (UCLAN) are taking interest in. To be a creative is to be a sponge to everything around you.
Steven Roberts (2nd year Graphics) found this typographic sculpture walk in New Zealand after seeing it on Billy Connelys World tour.
The series of large, concrete, typographic ‘text sculptures’ designed by award-winning Wellington typographer and graphic designer Catherine Griffiths are sited at various points along the waterfront. Each sculpture contains a quote by a well-known New Zealand writer with strong Wellington connections.
The brainchild of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors, the walk celebrates the city in which we live, makes literature more visible and encourages us to be more aware of our literary heritage.
The walk currently celebrates the work of 11 writers; Katherine Mansfield, James K Baxter, Robin Hyde, Bill Manhire, Bruce Mason, Patricia Grace, Maurice Gee, Patrick (Pat) Lawlor, Vincent O’Sullivan, Lauris Edmond and Denis Glover.
Whilst Jake Ferris sent this little test along. Not so good for me as I’m colour blind or maybe just thick?

I got a score of 79 and thought i was really good, then realised the lower score the better, but i’m colour blind anyway so at least i didn’t get them all wrong
Oh dear, that’s a big fail from me.
I walk past these sculptures every single day and it hadn’t occurred to me to post anything about them on here. Wellington’s a city crammed full of interesting sculptures and art so I don’t really have any excuses. Must try harder!
On the plus side, I just managed a (hopefully) respectable 16 points on the colour gradient test.
I got 15, which I thought was ok, totally messes with your eyes though.
