The Beehive

We had to typeset the Exegesis of Philip K. Dick and professionally print them through Blurb. For presentations we had to write a brief, one paragraph summary of our approach to the book and cover. This is what I wrote: The approach to this book reflects one of minimalistic properties. I chose one column to create a flow throughout each page and stay consistent throughout the book. Each verse is placed on the outer left of the column corresponding with the paragraph it is tied to, appearing like folder tabs (as folders is the main theme). This is reflected in the cover of the book as well, where the treatment of the prepositions are also placed on the left hand side and flipped sideways like the verses in the text. Each chapter page has a border with a chosen image that is blown up to achieve an eerie effect. I also chose this approach because for each cover page, it seems as though the black is infecting the white through different ways, achieving the overall point of the Form I ...

Critique on Kelsey Mack's type project: Instantly the waves of type grabbed my attention. Some waves stay consistent throughout the piece, all forming the same waves through each line of type. Some of the words are changed to a different typeface, which some are very successful in pulling out information like the word Kremlin 's scale and bold typeface instantly draws my attention there. There are some issues with letter spacing, like the word "Kremlin" the r and e are very close together which i'm sure is because of the curve it sits on but kerning could have helped. Some of the shifted typefaces / scale of type overlaps other type, creating irregular spacing - i'm not sure if that is a right design decision because these hefty holes in the body feel erratic. Some work well though, the  "oh" covers up the text above nicely. Curvilinear lines aren't exact, for example the spiral on the bottom seems to have ridges in it, not a nice smooth curve ...

The speech I chose was Ashley Judd's "Nasty Woman" at the Women's March, the video is here . Some things I picked up were: She emphasized a lot of key words Very aggressive with sharp movements and sharp articulate  Also emotional at times, can hear the sadness in her voice with provokes empathy Pauses often for effect, but never too long or too much Her voice fluctuates in volume to add depth within her speech  Drawn-out words to articulate and assert like CONflict, TRANSphobia, etc.  Seems frustrated like begging for people to hear her words, but also confirming what a lot of those people feel Moves her body a lot and has no problem speaking and articulating with her hands and arms Voice cracks a few times because of the force she is putting behind them Yelling almost, in a very "as a matter of fact" way1 Never interrupts herself - she does it once because she accidently said a brand name of something and then corrected herself and went on t...
