Boiling It Down...

So, here are the top quotes I’m fighting with right now… Discovery ignites the passion to create. Process is the portal to discovery and ignites the passion to create.

The greatest ideas are ignited by discovery. The...

Laser CUT

There’s a new kid in town, and he goes by the name of LAZERCUTTER. AKA The Department of Design got a fun new toy and that is a laser cutter. JUST in time for me to use it and save myself from the millions of papercuts, exacto-knife cuts and many other injuries or tears that would have been sustained through the cutting of the millions of sheets of corrugated cardboard I will be using. ...

playGround

Last night I went to go and see playGround, which is the annual Theatre@York student-produced fringe festival of original works and works-in-progress by up-and-coming playwrights, directors, designers and performers in the undergraduate Theatre program at York. I went because one of my roommates is in theatre and she was in one of the plays in Series A of the shows. The play she performed in...

Here they are, the key words to my “thesis”: Contruct Passion Desire Experience Emotion Dreams Ideas Create Process Check out my older post on possible quotes and give me feedback on which one is best...

Possible Quotes

How process is more important than the outcome, because there is a sense of discovery there that leads you to...

Fashion Punk Exhibition →

I found this whilst trying to look at more examples of installations documented… it definitely looks cool and gives me an idea of how to document my installation, if I make it size-as, which is what I am thinking of doing right now, because little mock-ups seem difficult to justify… but I don’t know where I am going to find enough material for this if I do it life-size…...

“Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we...”

– Bruce Mau’s “Incomplete Manifesto For Growth”. From his book, Massive Change, Bruce Mau states this. Which is something Graham has definitely been hinting towards. Now that I’ve started doing, I understand this is the most inherent way to the creative process.

After critique

So, I just had an in-class critique with Graham, and he suggested the I do the following to further my project (I’m writing this down now, before I lose the scraps of paper I wrote on): Look at Bruce Mau’s “Massive Change”: read the manifesto and look at his exhibition Maybe my letterforms can be much larger objects, like archways (symbolic of when Roman soilders come...

The Pieces

So from looking at all that, I think I will make the following pieces: - The Typographic Installation (presented as a poster, or as several angled shots presented in a book form) - An event poster - An invitation for the opening of the installation - A brochure/leave-behind piece that guests can pick up at the show But this also means I am: - Creating my own typeface for the letter-forms in...
