spice typography

 
I'm working on some branding design for a spice store, for one of my classes this semester. I've been creating some textures and typography from the actual spices, using the hand-drawn logo type as a stencil. Here are some of my photos of the textures, as well as some general photos I took to use in the brand:

thinking green

 

Look at this amazing moss table I ran into on this green design site! I would love to have this table in my apartment, I can never get enough of enclosed plant environments. This is a great blog about sustainability in design, I found a lot of great things on there - including this ridiculously charming garden postcard.

design needs heart

 
With graduation and my senior show swiftly approaching, things are beginning to come together. For my installation in the show, I've decided to focus on my hand-drawn typography (big surprise, I know.) The main theme I'm dealing with is the idea of "design needs heart" - the concept that graphic design is more than the ability to manipulate software or tools, but a craft which requires a human element: a voice, passion, soul, authenticity. I'll post more details as things become more concrete, but I've just put together a type design for the main quote and thought I'd share my process so far. Starting with a very rough sketch to the vectorized version, there were certainly a lot more versions in between than what's here:






I'm not sure what the color palate will end up being, I just put these together to experiment. I'm in for a whole lot of drawing type for the next month and... now 8 days, until I start hanging my show on April 21st. I'm excited!
