I’ve become absolutely obsessed with graphic and typeface design again. I took two minor courses in college, and wasn’t that great at it, and yet adored it. I did get a taste of what book making would be like though. Our biggets project was a story about a chair that we turned into a book of our own design. Mine was a pocket book made out of cardboard with each page pushed in kind of like a clock-in machine at an old warehouse. Thus, one of my goals once I’m back in the city is to enroll at The Center for Book Arts to learn about designing books. If you doubt me, I once had a stamp collection and a paper doll collection that I cherished (and stored away in my parent’s attic.) Some people may find this nerdy and others enthralling. Feel as you may. I literally google “typeface” and “graphic design” images on a weekly basis. You should try it some time. It’s like candy.
Sooooooo do what you love right? Lesson learned.
