Another poster for my SVA graphic design class. This is my favorite of the posters thus far. Messing with the kerning like this is definitely not something I would do usually, but I thought that maybe breaking up just the simple word would give it more of a sense of rhythm in itself without repetition.

I'm really looking forward to printing this out large and seeing it.

We were tasked with making an 11"x16" poster using the word "rhythm" to explore type/fonts. This is what I made first. I'll probably toss around a few more ideas before next Thursday. (I've already started another one, actually, and I have plans for maybe two more).

All done with the GIMP + some torn out letters/scans (and a lot of patience because my computer kept running out of virtual memory)

(i would suggest looking at it large or full size)

So I'm taking this graphic design class at the School of Visual Arts and our first class was today (class is on Thursdays). Our in-class assignment was to use these sheets of Letraset rub-on letters to make a "poster" on the white side of an index card. This was my first try. All the letters used in the sun/clouds/man are letters from my name (L. Nichols).

The second try is here. On the second try, I decided that what I liked most was the little guy with the dandelion, so I tried to do a simplified version of just him using just the letters from my name (L. Nichols). I like how this one came out better, though many in the class preferred the first. What do you think?

At the Upstate Artists Guild gallery on Lark St. in Albany, NY. I have four paintings in the Pow! show, up until Sept 25.

It was this crowded or more so all evening! I was glad so many people were there, but it was damn hot. I ended up leaving and coming back later after the sun had set. Had some yummy Thai food across the street from here.

My first show!!

A photo of a print that Stephanie and I did together as our first venture into using the Gocco press. I've framed mine in this little frame I found at a garage sale for $1. I totally sliced my finger open on the glass while cleaning it off before I put this print in.
