What is that image?

Curious about the home page background image? It's a project by Communication Arts student Tahani Abbas "Super.Mega.Ultra." in which students created larger than life typography. FF DIN, the typeface used, was originally created for road signs in Germany and The Netherlands, and Tahani used it to play with wayfinding systems in a busy urban environment. The maze-like plazas between the two major buildings on the Otis campus became a place for people to interact. The words gradually disappeared as more and more people walked over the chalk lines.
