Diary Encodings

In this series, I explored the possibilities of geometric encodings as another form of written language.  Each piece is a short diary entry, and the encoding uses a simple substitution cipher with elements of a geometric language for the letters, numbers, and punctuation.  After designing the encoding and finalizing the text,  a computer program generates the layout of the entire text.
