I have conducted the first few rounds of interviews and photo shoots for my “Heirloom” project that I am getting pretty excited about. I figured I would post some shots from today’s work in hopes of enticing more of you to participate! THIS COULD BE YOU!
We finally began setting some lead type in my letterpress class, and the experience was tremendously rewarding. Something about the whole process is really giving me a different perspective on design in general; I expect I will take a lot from class. Just during these simple settings I gained a whole new appreciation for the personality and character of Gill Sans, one of my least favorite typefaces. There will definitely be more to come in the letterpress department; we get to start more directly designing things soon.
My posting plummeted a bit in the last couple weeks, this is because I was in the midst of midterms and a lovely spring break roadtrip adventure with Anthony Mattox and Dai Foldes. I have returned from my little hiatus and will be intermittently posting again, as usual. Meanwhile enjoy some pictures from the fantastic Georgia Aquarium! (more…)
Some photos, courtesy Bryan Connor, of myself and Dai Foldes playing at MICA’s monthly coffeehouse. We played Palmcorder Yajna by the Mountain Goats and Under thr Bridge from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (more…)
To all of you who celebrate Christmas, I hope yours is spectacular and spent with your friends, family, and loved ones. To everyone else, have a great holiday season (also with your friends, family, and loved ones), and I hope my terribly cute nephew makes you smile.
I will be busy doing absolutely nothing work related for the next few days, but I will be back posting before the New Year.
Environmental Lettering Project
Typography 1 with Ellen Lupton… YAY.
First assignment: Environmental Lettering. These are Helvetica letters hand-cut out of contact paper and affixed to a window in MICA’s new Gateway building; positioned in such a way that they appear to be sitting on top of the nearby State Building.
