Servicio Ejecutivo: Dan Funderburgh's Ciphers

Posted on May 2, 2007 Under Design

Wallpaper master, Spear Collective member, and soccer aficionado Dan Funderburgh’s ‘Ciphers’ work is currently being featured at Williamsburg based gallery Servicio Ejecutivo. They also posted an interview with Dan on their website, so all of you aspiring graphic designers can gain some insight into what it takes to be able to live off of your design work alone. All of his featured designs contain ciphers: What's this all about? The word ‘cipher’ can refer either to a circle or to a code. In cryptography, a cipher consists of two or more alphabets that are written in concentric circles. When one of the circles is rotated each symbol or character in that alphabet is rotated to match with a new corresponding symbol or character, and you have a created a new encryption. Go try to solve the puzzle for yourself. Also on the website, there’s a high res wallpaper image for your downloading pleasure.
