Seeing Spaces poster

by Bret Victor, David Hellman

The Seeing Spaces (2014) talk, redesigned as a 5-foot wall poster comic.

Download as jpg or enormous PDF.

Later brought into Hypercard in the World (2015) as the Seeing Spaces dynamic poster (2015).


The design works at multiple scales. At a long distance, the overall structure is visible. At a middle distance, header sentences can be read. Close up, the full text of the talk is readable.

This may have been inspired by the structure of The Timeless Way of Building.
