i find pop-culture really intriguing. sounds ridiculous but i FIND it ridiculous that when certain events become blown out, they tend to overshadow other current events, or at least temporarily. my first thought was the whole kanye/taylor swift moment. paralleling that night to the newspaper, certain national and world news didn't get the same treatment. kanye and taylor get pushed in the lime light, but the death of norman borlaug, who had a big hand in the green revolution, gets pushed in the shadows. this layered piece is meant to address the power pop-culture.

and if you thought i forgot about the book project...wrong again.

and i thought that all i had to show for my london study abroad were leftover pounds that the bank won't give me US dollars for. i realized that i came back with something more valuable, and i wanted a way to professionally document that. for every designer that we had the privilege of meeting, i had pages and pages of advice and quotes. this book is meant to be a designer's bible; something that you can stick in your pocket or throw in your bag; something you can constantly refer to.

if you thought i forgot about posting, you're wrong! hope this makes you nauseous.

I've been playing around with line size and shifts in gradation to see if they play with the eyes at all. It's hard to tell on such a small scale.

I was doing some research for the wallpaper assignment, and I came across Op-Art and the artist Bridget Riley. I really took to her simple black and white optical paintings. The more you stare at them the more they seem to play with your eyes.
