GΞOCUBE - 36 Days of Type

This year I made the effort to do all 36. I wanted to create a device/structure that could "house" everything and make it more than just a series of characters. I came up with the Geocube (similar to a Rubik's cube in structure) with 27 individual smaller cubes i.e. The 26 letters of the alphabet would be situated around a 27th cube at the centre (the Core) or the heart of the Geocube. Each letter would represent a geographical location, perhaps fictional, but still relating to or based on, the various geographical landmasses and locations on our planet. The core of the Geocube would represent the molten core of our planet.

For the numbers, I went a bit further and decided to explore the celestial bodies in our Solar System. Each celestial body is represented by its position in relation to the Sun i.e. 1st from the sun, 2nd from the sun etc. Starting with Mercury and ending with Pluto.

Each letter/number was built and rendered in Cinema 4D with Redshift and Polished in Photoshop.
