Animation: Z Wang
Music: 'First Breath After Coma' by Explosions in the Sky

Graphic City is a pure typography animation which involved with the exploration of
typography and also the personal feeling of the modern cities. The initial idea came
form the continuously observation of the city/cities around me and our life. I lived
around the Canary Wharf area in London for two years, the pression of the night
time of the area inspired me to find out the connections of the light and empty
buildings with type. The idea of using only type to build up the city is inspired by the
Braille, cause what I think is for those blind people, what they can see of the city are
ot the actual figures, shapes and colours, but what's in their head is only the feeling
f touching the Braille.

  • Is the song by Explosions in the Sky?

  • yes it is.

  • hate to break it to ya man

    but thats Morse code not braille

  • I actually know it is morse code. the braille was where this inspiration came from, at the very beginning, i was thinking what actually can blind people see... in their head, just groups of codes right? they see a city as C-I-T-Y right?
