Deconstructed Japanese

Recently went on a trip to Japan for the first time which was excellent in a lot of ways. The graphic design was great to see and always so pleasing to look at because of the letter forms of the Japanese language. I wanted to experiment with them, so I took some letters, deconstructed them and shuffled them around to make some new forms.

Take a look at some more tests.

These are a few previews of an animation I’m working on.
