Hi Andy, this is so cool. How does this mechanics works on a brochure? My client is looking at something out-of-the-box to wrap a brochure (property development) and I was looking at injecting air in a gigantic bubble to wrap the book. And use a glowing stick (which may be everlasting) to form the logo. Have you explore on such mechanics? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Unbelievably simple idea, unbelievably breathtaking typography. Love it!

The next step?: using liquids that will slowly dissolve the pockets in the bubble wrap, and words [and meaning] slowly dissolve . . . this leads one to consider other possibilities, such as bacteria that reproduce and burst the pocket and then spread to the next one, so letters mutate depending on how quickly particular cultures reproduce — and do they change colour in the process? And lots more!
