Reading Response Transparency

The readings from Lupton's book along with the lecture was an eye opener. I have always realized that layering and transparency can help make a piece wonderful, but not in a sense that it can create new meanings. In our book project, we made different compositions out of dots for Vis Comm and then different compositions of type in Type. When put together, they enhance the meaning of the word exponentially. I feel like it's easier to understand the word and it gives it more meaning than the dictionary. At the same time, they might seem like they wouldn't work together at all but together, they convey the message well. Overall though, it makes the book cohesive and it flows from one page to another.
