Somewhere in my belongings, I still have several CDs full of hand selected Fall Out Boy and Relient K songs that my closest friend burned for me. I've been telling her that I've been looking for it but can't find it.

I was that really annoying kid who used to shine light onto the backs of CDs and reflect the light into other's faces (and sometimes into houses). I know, very annoying. But, I was fascinated by reflective qualities of the CD.

I'm relatively inexperienced with Dimension (though I guess I know enough to help teach sophomores how to use it!), but have always had a good time playing around with the materials and camera capabilities. I have also been pretty interested in Dimension as an actual art form (instead of just mockup/rendering/showcase/etc.) of image making.

Experiment A: I was trying to play around with the camera angle to see at what points letter forms are still readable, even if distorted (such as playing with the depth). The reflective properities of the materials allso lend for interesting light surfacing and shades at ridges.

Experiment C + D: Visually distorting the reflection of type is very interesting to me. Perhaps using real CDs to reflect type and capture the reflected type could be interesting? Maybe with spoons?
