Beautiful Bitmaps: Y by Emily Poe-Crawford (For Sale)

UPPERCASE (UPPERCASE) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:09:41 -0700

One of the first and most tangible ways I encountered the idea of a bitmap was playing with my Lite Brite as a child in the 80s. I have tried to mimic that popular light box toy here, forming the cursive Y with a colourful spectrum of backlit plastic pegs. sparrownestscript.etsy.com A portion of proceeds from Beautiful Bitmaps will go to creating an UPPERCASE scholarship fund to assist a reader in pursuing education in design, illustration, typography or craft.

Beautiful Bitmaps: W by Jason Wong (For Sale)

UPPERCASE (UPPERCASE) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:07:26 -0700

An interesting letter that describes the letter U doubled, it’s the only multisyllabic letter in the alphabet and one that I’ve lived with since I was born. Having been raised on Lego and later learning about type, I’ve always felt that Lego blocks were the perfect tool for making bitmap typography tangible.

Beautiful Bitmaps: X by Louise Fili (For Sale)

UPPERCASE (UPPERCASE) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:04:03 -0700

When asked to create a bitmapped letter, I began to brainstorm on what forms bitmapping could take. Of course, there are pixels and grids, but how could I transform a harsh, gridded letterform into something beautiful? I began looking into the process of filet lacemaking, and I loved how simple, small squares of thread can translate into lush patterns, forms, and in this case, letters. louisefili.com A portion of proceeds from Beautiful Bitmaps will go to creating an UPPERCASE scholarship fund to assist a reader in pursuing education in design, illustration, typography or craft.

Beautiful Bitmaps: V by Corey Holms (For Sale)

UPPERCASE (UPPERCASE) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:00:16 -0700

When I was assigned the letter v, I was thrilled—this was going to give me the opportunity to play with one of my favourite letterforms of all time, the Linotype Didot Italic lowercase v. It’s a very sensual letterform and is unique in form to that typeface. My wife is a lampworker (formfireglassworks.com), so while she was working in the garage studio, we were talking about the project. I took inspiration from the work she was doing and turned it into what is now my final piece. I took the colour and texture of her work and brought it to mine. coreyholms.com A portion of proceeds from Beautiful Bitmaps will go to creating an UPPERCASE scholarship fund to assist a reader in pursuing education in design, illustration, typography or craft.

Beautiful Bitmaps: U by Martin Gee (For Sale)

UPPERCASE (UPPERCASE) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:56:48 -0700

I have always loved and been fascinated by bitmap art and typography ever since my introduction with the Atari 2600, 8-bit Nintendo and arcade games. For me, it’s digital nostalgia. My U is based on Emigre’s Lo-Res-Twenty-One Serif (formerly known as Emigre 14). I chose to replicate it with an even older art form: pins and thread. hellvetica.net A portion of proceeds from Beautiful Bitmaps will go to creating an UPPERCASE scholarship fund to assist a reader in pursuing education in design, illustration, typography or craft.
