GRAPHIC DESIGN AROUND THE WORLD 2007



Brief:
From content previously gathered, we were asked to create a project that somehow made sense and organisation of a minimum of fifteen different sets. Each set contained four pieces of graphic design from a particular country of the world within a specific decade, captions for each, and a short paragraph explaining the context of the images.

Our group decided to work with the concept of comparison and encouraged visual and contextual "crashing," an idea originally influenced by Charles Dobson. The book is cut into quadrants and bound on both sides, as if it were four separate little books. The arrangement is non-linear for navigational ease and gives way to larger opportunities for comparison.

Collaboration with Heather Lamb and Julie Lee.

TYPOGRAPHY BOOKLET



Brief:
The focus of this project was to combine all of the normative typographic skills that we have taken up throughout the first and second semester into a tangible published form. The content was to be taken from class notes and exercises, and presented in a way that would cater to more humanist persuasions.

I went for a more minimal sensibility, and instead of stopping at aesthetics in terms of the humanist direction, I incorporated it into the literal text and feel of the content. I took reference from classic novels and their formal qualities, as well as wrote the bulk of the text in a more readerly style.

hello

Failing magnificently ahead of my years, yet optimistic about the future, like a stupid little child. Or delusional piece of shite.

I have just entered my early-twenties, am either bearded white men's wingman or exotic and slender gay men's faghag, and generallydisliked by the French and people from the Maritimes. I was also bred to be an Asian trophy wife by fucking crazy nuns. I have very domestic house skills and am trained in dining ettiquette.
