A Good Critique
In a perfect world, a good critique would consist of a completely objective suggestion, unbiased by personal desire or stylistic tendency, that is intended to further the probability of successful communication of the content. This suggestion must be rooted in logical reasoning that persuasively considers the balance of form and function in order to raise that probability.
Here’s a quick poster i put together for an upcoming It’s Casual event at E-Villa on Cathedral St. in Mt. Vernon. It’s Casual is a weekly, speak-easy style party—March 29 is featuring the artist Kraddy, who is blowing up. He just did an interview for this months issue of Playboy.
Here are some more vague sketches of early american wpa style posters. I wanted to try and evoke the Hobo’s Manifesto through visual propaganda. I’m in favor of the simple, more graphic posters—and, I’m thinking the last poster will need some simplification.
DTL Nobel, the sans-serif, is most likely going to be sticking around for a while; but, Wisdom Script is just a place holder for the script or lettering i’m seeking. I haven’t convinced myself to make any purchases yet.
More to come.
This is a poster I made for It’s casual for February 16th.
Here is a specimen with my thesis progress so far.
More to come.
These hand drawn letterforms were created during a participatory (conditional) design workshop at MICA. Each individual letter was passed around an auditorium, allowing every student in the senior class of 2012 to participate in the drawing.
The time has finally come for me to begin researching and developing my final independent study at MICA. I’ve decided to focus on exploiting Hobo culture of the American Great Depression by utilizing a faux “branded” survival kit as a teaching vessel. Let me begin the process with an image of the items collected so far.
I just walked into a record store called Sound Garden in Baltimore, and was surprised to spot a colorful album cover with a custom typeface I drew last spring. Pretty cool, pretty random.
Here are some other applications I found by searching “Thai Funk Volume One” on google images: one & two.
Here is the final, complete version of the BAM: Next Wave Festival newsprint publication.
It feels great to have finally completed this; it’s a fairly old project that never went into production. League Quarterly is a news/culture rag geared towards world unification through technology, psychology, and science.
This is a poster for a pop up store, called Pure Power, that sells organic LED lighting.
