Adam Schwartz- 3D type

I saw this picture on pinterest and was immediately drawn to it. This is an ampersand created completely out of balloons taped to the floor at different distances from the viewer’s eye. All of the balloons are black on the white background and pop off the page like they are right in front of you.  I think it is completely awesome that someone thought to make an ampersand out of balloons. It creates an almost perfect composition of what one looks like. This is a common everyday object, not something that may be lying around someone’s home but something that a person may come across every day and not notice. This draws the viewer in because the balloons are black; balloons are normally colorful and bright. This reminds me of stefan sagmeister’s 3d type in different materials that he found. If I created this composition I would have liked to see what this looks like in different environments. I would also like to see how it would look in different colors.
