Today we viewed some interesting artists on the projector. I really enjoyed the graffiti art! For the longest time I have been into doodling words and phrases, I love text! I was doodling one day at my job, making a sign for the store. And my boss really like it, and decided to let me design all he signs in the store. He decided to go an old fashion way and use chalk, I LOVED it!!!! I took it from there, I had about 12 boards labeling the store in neat fonts that didnt repeat themselves, with little drawings on them. I would get complement all the time, I had a blast! I would love to work in advertising where i can play with text and mess with design. I really enjoy manipulating lettering into showing emotion or a topic of some sorts. Graffiti has always been really neat for me, I just think its so beautiful and intriguing.
