23 February 2020 During our layout meeting yesterday, we realized that all of us had followed a number of different layouts and we decided to freeze a couple of templates that we would all try to fit our work into. I changed some of my layouts to fit these, and quite like the white space… Continue reading Revised Layout
18 February 2020 In our copy shop group meeting we all liked the layout of the images vs. text in this book on Olafur Eliasson's words, that I had issues for my ADAS essay. We thought it was a nice composition, playing on the white space to direct attention to the images. Also, some images… Continue reading Layout

12 February 2020 Gary and Isabel's exhibition at the Cello Factory came in good time to inspire me toward the Launch project. With both artists sharing an inclination toward metaphoric abstraction from the world around them, I was keen to hear them speak about their works at the exhibit. Isabel's work overlays multiple scales of… Continue reading ‘Fictions’ Exhibition Visit
