thats all for this semester so far.

Oh and another thing... I picked up a couple ADDY awards... 3 golds 2 silvers... a best in category and a best in show. No big deal.

2006-07-19T15:49:00.000-04:00

So as most of you that know me know already. I went to Altos de Chavon in the Dominican Republic for a bit of a design vacation. I took the Experimental Typography class with Pablo Medina (www.cubanica.com) from Parsons. The guy is a freaking genius and worked us like crazy and helped us come out with something in one week that i wouldn't imagine to be possible. So Pablo if you read this, thanks.

Anyway this is the final product from the class. This is the Type Specimen poster for my work in progress typeface Lights Up.

Enjoy.
