Day 2

Worked on a new project today, the typographic hierarchy project, which CMU students have been doing for a while now.

It’s interesting going back to the basics of working with typography and being really constrained with what variables you can play with. It is simultaneously constraining and liberating. We’ll be adding variables throughout the rest of the week, so it will be interesting to see where we are in the end.

Everyone else seems to be having similar thoughts about the summer courses so far, even despite our varied backgrounds and design skill levels.

At the end of our six week session we will be creating a process portfolio to document everything we did. It seems like many of these are going to be websites, so I think I’m going to start exploring what I can do. This is a linear progression in lots of ways, though, so a book or some similar exploration might be better.
