My Daily Six

In 2012, I challenged myself to create something new every day. The parameters? Use six words. As the year progressed, I ended up breaking the 6-word rule but the main point was to explore imagery, investigate form and texture, and, of course, play with type. You'll see a range of work. Much of it was influenced by what took place that day, everything from the weather to politics. Some of the results were stunning, some not so much. But that's what the creative process is all about.

2.10.12_handy elephant

I want an elephant I can hold in my hand! Background texture was built up with layers starting with a pattern overlaid with solid color. Photoshop brushes were used to age the image. The next layer was the yellow "e", a photo I took of signage letters. On top of that is a worn, painted "E" seen on the side of an old building. Typeface is Eames Century Modern, one of my favorites.
