Final Reflections

This blog has become a compendium of thinking, specifically, how I filter incoming information and process it, creating snippets of imagery and words to use in my work. I tend to remember quotes, or parts of them, and they rattle around in my head while I go about the day until I see something that will bring one of them jumping up to attention, going, “See, that’s what I’m talking about!” I do tend to anthropomorphize words, or the visualization of them in letters at least. Letters have such presence and personality and I tend to wrap my design around them. For me, without letters, there would be no design. The book that has resulted is a collection of words that like, and how I happened to interpret and re-present them. Because everything we create is a re-presentation of something else.
