Vignelli sounds like a pasta

February 15, 2015

The first thing I noticed about this booklet was how many times it said “fellows” in the introduction. I haven’t heard that word in a while and it is a good word with a positive connotation to it, so I think we need to bring that back. Intangibles I found the writing on semantics very interesting. … Continue reading Vignelli sounds like a pasta →

I had so many ideas for this assignment my head started spinning. I used GIMP because I don’t have photoshop on this laptop anymore, but since I am more familiar with that I might go back to it. Gimp seems a little temperamental and so simple it’s complicated. But I digress, I wanted to make … Continue reading DS 106 Wallpaper: Simple and Clean →
