09/13 | 4 h Writing is always the hard part of the assignments. I wanted to figure out the exact context and content of my zine before I went too overboard with the design.

Assignment 1 | Ideation and Creation
09/11 | 3 h. Every good concept starts with a spark, you know? A really good idea that hits you and won’t let go. It’s something that doesn’t always come on the spot, but when it does it just feels good and right. I had that moment when we were given the assignment during class,Continue reading “Assignment 1 | Ideation and Creation”
Sept. 3 | Mini Assignment 01

A Garden of Words|Final
My first post details the reasons for choosing to use a written approach, however I want to reiterate the point here that the intention behind the use of written words for the shape of the bee, in contrast with the crisp font is to showcase the differences of the natural and human made quality ofContinue reading “A Garden of Words|Final”

Though I love this place with all of my heart and I fondly call it home, there are not many places here that I tend to go. Maybe it’s easy enough to chalkContinue reading “Activity: Gathering Text”
Typography Assignment 1c
Photos! So many photos was the next step. I needed to make sure I got some fun shots but also ones that represented some kind of letters somewhere along the line. Here’s some examples of the images that I ended up taking. After editing the photos I chose, the grid was the next piece ofContinue reading “Typography Assignment 1c”
Typography Assignment 1b
When it came to finding the visuals behind my idea, I was limited to the three places that I was in the most often. Since I don’t drive and the weather was horrific for a few days, I decided that it was better this way if I wanted to push the concept of my personalContinue reading “Typography Assignment 1b”
