36 DAYS OF TYPE, 2021: BOOK LOVER'S EDITION

For those of you who have not participated previously, 36 Days of Type is a yearly online design event where artists around the world create and share work that depict one letter per day and then the numbers 0-9.

For #36daysoftype08 (2021), I created a series of augmented reality scenes based on books. Each day, a 3D render, a video of the Experience and an Adobe Aero QR code with link was shared so users could guess the book title and/or engage with the AR Experience in their own space. The rules were as follows:

  1. Each day, the book being depicted would start with the letter for that day (e.g. "A" is for Anne of Green Gables, B is for Black Beauty, etc.).

  2. The words "A" and "The" were excluded. For example, a title like the The Notebook would fall under "N."

  3. All titles were fiction.

  4. For numbers, the number could be anywhere in the title, text or numeric.

  5. Social media (Behance, Flickr and Instagram) were updated once per day. The new letter was missing the book title for 24 hours.

  6. If people wanted to engage, they could try to guess the title. The title was updated with the next day's post, but I always confirmed if someone guessed correctly.
