Throw Back

I'm in the middle of redesigning my website. While sorting through some old work looking for raw photographs to re-edit, I found this bad boy from freshman year! I think this was in the front of my first ever moleskine sketchbook. I used to be so good about keeping sketchbooks, now I'm just sort of a "practice lettering on everything in front of me" kind of girl. This was definitely created while sitting at my Commons dorm kitchen table with Max Guy drinking Malibu Rum and listening to the Black Lips.

Hi Fall 2007!

BARBARA KRUGER IS FROM NEWARK!

In addition to all sorts of really wonderful conclusions I've come to recently, the most exciting, my realization of how much I love design.

I just want to get better at design. I want to learn more about design. I want to continue making beautiful things, become more innovative, continue to outdo my self with each project, or at least attempt to. What's really exciting about all that, is that I'm making a career out of it. And that rules.

I got this Barbara Kruger book today at the library, I'm really excited to read it.



I've always had an interest in her use of type, but really haven't looked much further into her work. I had more of an appreciation Supreme ads after I first saw her work. Surprisingly enough, homegirl was born in NEWARK!

I'm really hyped on the type II project I've been working on, in addition to this thievery corporation thing, even though it's caused Lebonese Blonde to be stuck in my head (thanks Zach Braff) for the past two weeks.

Jenna just sent me this, I had to LOL.
