I really like a lot of build's work and I do think that this project has merit. He has the balls to do elegantly simple ideas, like the timecode series and present them as desirable. You have to commend that.
If I'm being truly critical of the scale series I'd make a few points, having had the day to think about them:
1) I'd like to see more of a meaningful relationship between the objects featured:
the sun, earth, you can argue a carbon atom as most lifeforms on earth are made up of it. But then the penny is tenuous, even more so the death star.I love posters that show the planets of the solars sytem to scale like this:
where the sun is so big that it doesn't even fit on.
2) that brings me to scale. The scales are all determined to make the cirlce the same size on each poster which make sense visually but gives some funny scales.
I'd like to see a poster that tackles the difficult problem of showing all the 5 objects to one scale. Surely a more challenging brief.3) In general I'd like it if the posters were stand alone pieces that also had some element of intereactivity between them so the whole was more than the sum of the parts.
If you're doing something this minimal every element has to be perfect.
