School is done for four months! Time to spend copious amounts of time on self-directed projects full of zest and experimentation! I’m sure many of you can gauge how excited I am about this prospect. I thought it was fitting to use the image above for this post because A.) like I mentioned before, school is done; B.) This was one of my very first self-directed design projects out of school; and C.) I used this image in my magazine project, which I will be posting here later on.
For the record, I don’t smoke, but I had this idea floating around in my head. I thought, “if I did smoke, and for some reason cigarettes were outlawed or if world-wide tobacco crops were destroyed, then what would I do with my last pack of cigarettes?” Avoiding the option to smoke them of course. I decided to make typography out of them. Typography and myself are thick as thieves these days — as you can tell from most of my recent work.
With school being done I am starting to recollect and reflect all the events and little nuances that have made this year what it was for me. Within the next week or so I’m sure I will write some sort of post, dramatically commenting on my introduction into the BC lifestyle and also Design school. Thoughts are marinading right now. I’ll give them some time to filter, so I can express myself most clearly without sounding like Monique’s Academy Award acceptance speech.
