The first work in my personal library series (Dot | Timeline) and my first web project, Shape of My Library was developed as an experiment — with d3.js, with personal metrics, and with ligature typeface FF Chartwell.

I began by taking measurements of my book collection, using this data as the basis of the project. Dimensions include the book’s height, length, color, genre, and the feelings it inspires.The design and code are being developed in tandem, as I attempt to answer questions about the nature of my library and its contents.

The project is ongoing.
