Typography as Texture

This is the wallpaper I created. I chose the letters "O" and "C." I decided to name my clothing store, "Origami Catch." The logo that I created with the "O" and "C" was inspired by the folds of origami as well as the serenity in their colors and in the actual act of making them.

For this assignment, I decided to express emotion through nature: Falling rain in a drought expressing satisfaction, a wave hitting a rock to express aggression, wishies expressing ambition, and a "weeping" willow (my favorite tree) expressing sadness. I usually use a lot of pen, ink and watercolor, but for this assignment I decided to be a little more bold and try something new so I ended up using acrylic, newspaper, and ink. I not particularly fond of my series and will probably be redoing most, if not all of them. However, I am glad I experimented with materials I was not comfortable with and hope to produce even better work in the future.

Letter/Form

This is my simplistic type specimen poster for my designed typeface called, "Entangled Extension." For my found grid, I used hairbrush bristles and then formed the letters using floss. I attempted to use hair extensions to shape the letters, but it was difficult to maneuver around the bristles and I figured since the poster was going to be black & white, I could just supplement something else that was easier to work with that would appear as hair. I usually have a tough time making simplistic art and I am happy I accomplished doing so with this assignment. Illustration and Form and Communication work to come!

Process-Type Specimen Booklet

Here is my final type specimen booklet!

SCADshorts: Pencil Face

My inspiration for this week, is PENCIL FACE!
Creepiest video ever. Love it.
The video is beautiful.
I would like to make something like this one day.

Process-Typeface/Drop Cap/Form

Here is my process for form&comm and type.
My typeface I change multiple times, but after making my mother a mothers day card with a dreamcatcher I decided to go with dreamcatchers as my inspiration. The dreamcatcher with the letter "a" inside is my dropcap for my typeface which I titled "Zodiak."
Suggestions much appreciated on both form and type!

Inspiration-Sophie Crumb

For this week my inspiration is Sophie Crumb. I like how she uses a lot of line work and only color here and there. The use of thin lines is really appealing to me.
