First Post

After the first critique I will say that I feel a little bit more comfortable about Thesis. At first I wasn't sure what to expect because it was the biggest class I had in Mason Gross since my first year. So many different concentrations packed into one room. Getting put into different groups helped a lot because I was able to get somewhat of an idea of my fellows classmates work. In Rachels crit A group we got a chance to thoroughly go through everyones work and see where everyone was coming from. We ended the discussion with thesis ideas. Typography plays a big part in design, so I knew from the beginning I wanted to do something with type. I also follow a lot of street art. Everything thing about it is so interesting so I knew that too would play a big part.

As and advent stumbler, I stumbled upon "Moss Graffiti" or "Eco Graffiti" which is replacing spray paint, paint markers, and other chemicals with moss. It was really interesting because I never knew you could use an organic substance to paint with. Below are a couple links that give you a better understanding of Moss Graffiti.
