# Alphabetic Dissections The Andreas Scheiger 'Evolution of Type' Photography Series By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-09-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andreas-scheiger References: [trendland.net](http://trendland.net/2010/09/14/andreas-scheiger-evolution-of-type/) & [glandis](http://www.glandis.com/) As most [graphic artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-acrobat) do, Andreas Scheiger has a fascination with type. It seems that this fascination has evolved into a fixation however, as Andreas Scheiger literally dissects the alphabet in the 'Evolution of Type' photo series. Featuring Andreas Scheiger dissecting [self-made sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) of the alphabet, the series actually took inspiration from a [typography book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-other-hand-font). The book compares elements of lettering to human organs, which Andreas Scheiger decided to develop in a literal sense. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Typography Dissection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to deconstruct and reconstruct typography, blurring the boundaries between design and sculpture. - **Type-inspired Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create artwork that combines typography with other artistic mediums, pushing the boundaries of traditional design. - **Metaphorical Typography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use typography to convey deeper meanings and concepts, incorporating metaphor and symbolism in design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate 3D printing technology into graphic design processes, allowing for more tactile and interactive designs. - **Art Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive books that explore the intersection of typography, art, and anatomy, providing a unique reading experience. - **Typography Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate anatomy and sculpture into typography curriculum, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to design education. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md) - [Typography-Inspired Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-industries.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockface.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-typography-stamp-set.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Limited Art Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autotype.md)
