Jonathan Hart Waffle Typeface Revisited

Courtesy of http://jonmhart.blogspot.com

Here is my first attempt at my Waffle Iron Type. It has actually worked out better that I could have imagined. I used Sculpey (the white things) to fill in and connect the gaps in the waffle squares. I had initial concerns about the Sculpey burning, or sticking to the waffle batter, or worse yet, sticking to the waffle iron and rendering it useless. None of that happened. In fact the Sculpey hardened (as it does) and was easily removable from the iron. Not only was it removable, but I am able to reposition the pieces (sort of like a letter press) to make new letterforms. As it turns out, the syrup is needed to create enough contrast in the letterforms (see last photo). I have at least 18 more letters to make and then photograph, but hey, it makes the house smell good.

MODA Visit: AIGA100: A Century of American Design - Monday September 29th at 3pm

All the Junior and Senior Graphic Design majors will be visiting the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) on Monday September 29th at 3pm. It's the first time the entire group of graphic design majors have gathered in one place... so it should be fun. The faculty and graduate students are also invited to join us.

This will be a private tour of their new exhibition "AIGA100: A Century of Design" which was co-curated by Doug Grimmett, Founder and President of Primal Screen. Doug will be there to give everyone a tour himself and speak of the past 100 amazing years of American Design. The museum is usually not open on Monday so this is a special event for only us.

I've been asked to tell you that absolutely food or drinks will be allowed in the museum due to the nature of the archival materials presented.

Everyone is expected to meet out front close to 3pm on Monday.
Please don't be late.
The best way to travel is MARTA railway since the Arts Center station is across from MODA.

Admission will be at a reduced price of $5/person. You're lab fees will pay for this visit.
I'll pay for everyone all at once. You are not expected to pay.
