Mathematical Beauty: The “Law” of Optical Volumes
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Wired magazine just had a redesign and trumpeted that their redesigned logo obeyed the Law of Optical Volumes. Some commenters noted that this is basic kerning. Well, yes and no. Kerning is not typically this mathematic, which is related to why the word “law” grabbed my eye. This implies there is an algorithm to do this automatically… you know, if this whole exercise isn’t just crap.
