The Oblong Industries website is now live! Hello, future.
Oblong website launch!
A month in graphic design bootcamp
In my last post I promised to share some of what I’m working on for my coursework at RISD. So far that’s mostly been happening on Flickr, but here’s a quick summary of what you’ll find there.
In Type I, we’ve been making a bunch of collages with found type, exploring how to place words on a page, and just this week started a project with the letter press! No pictures of the letter press project yet (I’m printing tomorrow) but these are a few of the collages I’ve made for the class.
Form and Communication is our big studio class. We have workshops once a week with the undergrads, where we work with a different design concept every three weeks. We also get a chance to meet a lot of the RISD faculty in Graphic Design because every workshop is taught by a different instructor. John Caserta teaches a special graduate student section of this class, where, among other things, we have weekly assignments taking photos to illustrate words.
More (images) to come.
New Beginnings
This week I started classes at RISD, my first studio classes in graphic design. I’m going to try to over-document all of my work this semester (either here, on Flickr, or both) so you can whimsically observe my transition from tech school to art school. It’s going to be one big adventure, for sure.
Just testing.
Trying to get things in order on the new site — I think I have everything moved over, but lost a little data in comments. New posts coming soon!
