Create 100 different variations of your first or last initial, all 100 created in 100 different combinations of materials. After the best is picked, create an interlocked relationship between the scanned in initial and an unrelated typeface. At the end of all that, create a 44"x22" poster that tells the story of when typography made you feel some sort of emotion.

This project was one of my favorites. I have over 100,000 photos and videos on my phone, many of them are small clips from my day that I find aesthetically pleasing or, in some way, emotional. I've always been drawn to a busy life — school, job 1, job 2, extracurriculars. . . it is wonderful, overwhelming, but moreso wonderful. These photos and videos help keep me grounded when I struggle to find time for myself.

How did we get here? A whole lot of messing around. That's the answer. One thing you need to understand about me is that I don't consider giving up as an option, even if every bone in my body is telling me I should. For monogram I went through so, so, so many iterations. Keep scrollin' and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The letterform I got approved was my first initial, "R" written in acrylic paint on a heavily textured sandpaper. After having an approved letterform, the next step was to find a seamless relationship with our letterform and a preexisting typeface. Mine took a couple (uh, 22) attempts, but we got there.
