6 word memoir

my six word memoir:
i am always one holiday behind.

i think that i did this project about 100 times. i really liked working with word. i had no idea it could do so many things! but i chose this one because my mom for every holiday except mothers day always gets me some sort of festive socks. so i have grown to have a huge collection of completely ridiculous socks. i love it :)

Helvetica

this movie was really intense. i had no idea that people were so enthusiastic about type, but it does make sense the impact that it has. i never thought of it like the way in which the creators presented it. here are some examples of helvetica in the real world..

comments on 3 of jille's websites...

ordinary comics.
i thought this website was awesome. the little comics are simple and interesting and i enjoyed looking through the different days of the calendar. i like how the artist took everyday objects and made them into something beautiful.

1000 journals.
i thought this website was pretty cool. i liked being able to compare how some people use their sketchbook because i am just starting mine for another class. its really inspiring how people people can take 2 simple pages and do so many different things.

core77.
i found this website really interesting. while browsing through i found references on school, photography and various opportunities being advertised. i think this site is really cool and helpful and i will definitely keep it for the future!
