Making some progress on a typeface I'm designing based off a hand painted sign I spotted at Fenway!

It was a nice evening tonight for a walk around town. These graveyard shots are of my friend Connor, a fellow art student at my University!

here's a little peek at what I've been working on the past few weeks. My focus right now is on fragmented reflections and color compositions. I will post more once I've processed my film!

Bloom

I planted a few seeds one day and a typeface grew out of the ground. Not really. It makes for a good story though. Bloom is actually a handmade typeface I created out of florist wire, faux flowers, and some lovely weeds I found around our yard. I inspired my inner florist and also hot glued myself to the alphabet more times than I can count.

Here is a textbook cover design series I've been working on for class. I was given the subjects biology, chemistry and physics. Our assignment was to only create the background imagery of the textbooks, no typographic elements! In the first set (top row) I wanted to experiment with the combination of diagrams/equations/structures commonly found in each subject with a photograph in nature that paired well to illustrate. The second set (middle row) have a iconic image to represent each subject. I decided to have this set in black in white because it's extremely different than the colorful textbook covers typically found with these subjects. In the last set (bottom row) I was inspired by the Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames. Illustrating the idea of distance, each book in the set gets more and more zoomed out, similar to the film. I still have a few changes to make, and will probably add type for my portfolio, but here they are so far!

Filming handmade typefaces into the wee hours of the morning for a Process/Promo video. We will share the process soon! Involves india ink, so it's bound to be good.
