I spent most of the week­end work­ing over the upper­case and finessed a lit­tle on the low­er­case. I’m excited about the progress but almost over­whelmed by the sheer amount of work I still have to com­plete in the next three weeks. So here goes the lit­tle engine that could. I think I can.

In the most recent issue of The Atlantic, there’s an inter­est­ing arti­cle about typog­ra­phy. I never thought that the topic of typog­ra­phy would be so widely dis­cussed among non-​​​​designers, but with the preva­lence of the do-​​​​it-​​​​yourself men­tal­ity that has soft­ware devel­op­ers and Martha Stewart rak­ing in the dough, it’s prob­a­bly about time.

The last few days have been rel­a­tively pro­duc­tive for my BFA. I’m pretty pleased with the over­all direc­tion of Marua. It’s still in the first phase of design as I’ve just barely dig­i­tized the char­ac­ters. I’ll still have sev­eral rounds of changes before i set­tle on a final design. But here’s a quick image of where things stand […]

As an adden­dum to the last post, here is some more infor­ma­tion about the exhibit itself. A cou­ple design­ers put together a web­site with artist state­ments and more infor­ma­tion. Water/​​Politics/​​ and Hope The site will be updated within the next week to include phở­tog­ra­phy of the exhibit. I’m pretty impressed with the whole thing. Let me know […]

The first exhi­bi­tion of the semes­ter is now under way. I offi­cially had my piece hung at 12:32 p.m. today. As part of a week long audit of my water usage, I pro­duced a news­pa­per called ‘The Tributary’ out­lin­ing inter­est­ing facts about world­wide water con­sump­tion. After two sleep­less nights and nearly 12 hours print­ing, I was finally able to get […]

I thought it would be inter­est­ing to do a ret­ro­spec­tive of the last Leap Day. Although I don’t have the most accu­rate records of what I did on that day, I do have sketch­books to put me in the gen­eral direc­tions. So this post will have heavy design con­tent. Four years ago I was liv­ing in Idaho, going to BYU-​​​​Idaho. It […]
