Pages from my sketchbook today. The lesson: blind contours. It was difficult resisting the urge to look at what I was drawing, but I am glad I didn’t. These spontaneous looking squiggles look like something that came out of the fourth dimension (not time, but the one perpendicular to the third dimension). We talked about…

“In class exercise: The theme for today is type and expression. Use your initials to reflect your personality.” I created these. After doing some brainstorming with words (instead of thumbnails) I felt like I had a better grasp of what I wanted to acheive. Reporting from earlier today: I had put mounting my designs on…

Designs for tomorrow. I have made these posters today and I really love them. I think they display of a certain amount of understanding about Gestalt principles. I might be a little afraid of color, but I think they look mighty sharp. Each one is based off the “stable and dynamic” designs from last week.…
