Samenvatting :
Navigating information to create narratives by means of typography, is a collection of letters, here understood as ephemera, that discusses the invisible battle field that exists in the North Sea during WWII. The reassembled information forms a new and dynamic navigational system, that through the use of typographic display allows for a previously hidden narrative to appear. In other words, the navigation of information, which guides and prompts the viewer through the page in a way that creates further discovery and depth to the narrative through the use of typography.
The elements of the used typography have been researched on both micro- and macro-levels. In order to create a uniform and hierarchical system that uses adjustable typographic play on a micro-level in a way so that it influences and interacts with the macro-level (which references to the larger map used in the installation), just as much as the macro-level influences the typographic form on a micro-level. Meaning, that on a macro-level what is created is a moving grid that changes its density of field depending on the amount of people that were on board at the time of sinking and on a micro-level the amount of people that survived or were lost will influence the size of the typography. Having the lay-out move on both a micro- and macro-level allows the typography to move within the dynamic grid, creating a unique collection of ephemera that are never the same, while still containing a sense of uniformity within the chosen hierarchy. Creating a text system that is fueled by the placement and not only informs the viewer but can also be easily interpreted and link the ephemera together. The ephemera are presented in combination with and are linked to a larger map, presenting an overview of what is shown on the ephemera. Both elements are connected through the coordinates of where these vessels now lay in rest on the bottom of the seabed.
This design approach makes it possible to show information in a way that creates a narrative in order to immerse the reader and make it easy to comprehend. It is an innovative way of using navigational design on raw information.
