typographic-system.dps is a set of fonts programmatically generated by blending a data-set of various fonts created and evaluated in research.dps. In the current iteration, the system uses its sans-serif font, the Super-normal Sans Regular, for which no manual post-processing of the results has been performed. The super-normal.dps method prototype is used here to blend the fonts from the data-set.

The short-term goal is to develop a manual MVP, MVP Super-normal Sans, using blended results to provide time and resources to build the general font-generating tool. The economic-system.dps describes its scope, including value per part (value-model) and conditions of use and extension (legal-system.dps).

The long-term goal is to make a general font generation tool available and manage a data-set defining Super-normal Sans, Serif, and Mono for the current period.

sites.dps/portfolio is a project under construction*. Our motivation is the development of a simple web portfolio (aimed primarily at the needs of artists/designers, etc.), which should provide space for the presentation of one’s work within the current industry needs.

sites.dps/portfolio is a project under construction*. Our motivation is the development of a simple web portfolio (aimed primarily at the needs of artists/designers, etc.), which should provide space for the presentation of one’s work within the current industry needs.

In the current iteration, we focused on the site’s ideal architecture according to the blend.dps method with a preference for first data (Klara’s fork) and the possibility of generating various outcomes (online and print). The result is a simple structure split into Works and Info. We implemented an index button in the Works section for user-friendly orientation between projects. The Info section contains the most common categories in open calls and other opportunities for artists/designers.

In a future iteration, we want to add a feature to generate a PDF (print) version of the portfolio directly with the website’s CMS (for the current iteration, we have prepared an editable template in Figma).

The long-term future vision is to create a widely available default version of this site under the DPS project (https://wiki.public.services/).

print-generator was a tool for creating a personalized graphic motif/composition (for clothing)*, where the user himself supplied the basic parameters (image/text). The tool’s result was a graphic print, the final form of which depended on the cooperation of the tool with the user. It worked (only in its beta version) from 2020 to 2023.

print-generator could become a public tool/service for users to edit their supplied content. The user would set a specific medium/layout and the basic parameters of the final design.

*T-shirt was the only medium supported by the tool so far.

In this project, we attempted to find an alternative way to perceive a print (graphic motif) on clothing, transforming it into an individual’s legacy. Specifically, it was an attempt to provide a public tool to help people create their prints. The collaboration of the tool and the user has become a fundamental condition for changing the standard way of “identifying” the user with existing prints/images - breaking out of the current practices of “exclusive” and “unique” pictures that someone else creates for us, where the user stands at the very end of the process and thus fulfills the simple function of “just a consumer.”

On a general scale, the print-generator was intended to serve the public as a supplemental tool to finalize and realize their ideas. It aimed to relieve users of the privilege of knowing the rules of how to design their content. The tool should create a final graphic design based on the formatting and parameters set by the user. Thus, the user could concentrate on the essential part of the process, i.e., editing the content and concept of their idea.
