my morning.
senior thesis project
I'm probably one of the most indecisive people I know; which is why I've changed my senior thesis topic four times. As of today (mark it on your calendar) I believe I've finally settled on a topic I'm completely happy with. As a sneak-peek, below is my thesis statement, made beautiful with the help of Carrie.

Every day we interact with words, letters, and numbers through written communication, rarely stopping to study and admire the shapes and curves that comprise each written character. Typography, one of the most important and visually beautiful aspects of communication, has yet to be discovered by many. In my thesis project, I have created a museum environment in which typography is treated as sculpture and can be used as a tool for interaction. My focus on typography as the basis of design will help others appreciate reading and writing as physical form, as opposed to a mere transfer of knowledge.

Don't wait for me to post my progress...it would spoil the surprise!
new favorite quotes
...although mine aren't as neatly kerned as Max's. In his words, "I scoff at CSS with it's limited choices and inability to set text correctly."
garamond powerline
Beautiful work by Daniel Adolf of 0c/0m/0y/0k and Alex Klug of Royal Grafico. ...not to mention that Garamond Pro is one of my favorite serif typefaces.
