Typographical experimenting, like poker, is an enjoyable activity for the whole family. Your turn to shuffle.
It’s the last week of school and I approach it with anticipation. Sure, I have quite a bit of work to produce for these last days, but I’m confident I’ll get things done on time. Most importantly, as the illustration above alludes to, I’ll be flying out at the end of the week for a total of 10 days. First to Chicago, then to Baltimore, then back home. This trip will complete my traveling goal for the year: 4 places outside of Florida and my goal to visit Nat. I’m truly excited about this mini-adventure of mine.
If anybody is interested in tagging along on this trip, let me know. I’ll shoot you the specifics. I’ll be leaving Friday, the 7th and returning Sunday, the 16th. And yes, I’ll be taking plenty of pictures.
What are your plans for the winter break?
Can’t sleep. I had a sudden urge to create some art. I think I’ve finally figured out where I want to take my body of work. I want to produce positive propaganda. I want my work to filter the words of great thinkers and leaders through the use of typography in my particular sketchy style. It’s an opportunity for me to contribute to the Great Conversation with a raw artistic approach.
I think the political climate is such right now that my work could speak to millions if I just put it out there. Right now it’s important for me to share these ideas with my community, namely my school and my peers. I figure if there’s ever been a good place to express ideas, it’s in the university setting. Well, I’m here and I’m going to make the most of it. Let’s have a conversation, and if we can’t have a conversation let’s have an argument.
Who says school has to be boring?

Found this cool sign inside a hotel on Miami Beach last night.
Alternatively, I also found this Wordz tag inside a pizzeria a few hours later.
‘Twas an interesting night for the letter Z.
It’s been an interesting week thus far. I’ve been attempting to recover from this small cold that’s been building up in my system. 1000mg of Vitamin C and a few expectorant pills each day should be fixing that up. I’ve been prudent with my homework time. Pacing myself with each project, just a bit every day, is a lot more satisfying and productive. I’ll keep a note of how I’m progressing to see how effective I’ve been with the 2 current projects I’m on. The sketch above is yet another move towards the typographical direction I’m excited about pursuing. Oh, and Barnes and Noble is definitely my favorite place to do homework.
Tomorrow I’ll be attending the Miami premiere of Helvetica, sponsored by none other than my employer and my school. For more information on this event, please visit the Miami AIGA website.
Then on Friday I’ll be attending the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios with 110 of my peers from school. I haven’t been to this event in about 8 years, so I’m excited to revisit the great haunted houses and rides produced by the Universal Studios team. From what I remember, the theme park staff dresses up like zombies and other scary creatures and they walk around through the foggy night scaring tourists. I’m sure a few of us will get terrified and embarrassed. I’ll have my camera ready. It’s just too bad that visitors aren’t allowed to dress up and scare others like we did once before. We’ll make the trip to Orlando and back on the same evening. It’s going to be a long night.
I hear that Musiq Soulchild will be performing this weekend. Next week there will also be performances by Mute Math, Eisley, Mae, M.I.A., and Ben Harper. It’s definitely going to be a wonderful weekend.
