Jackie Gage's type project
For my project, I wanted to play with negative space to create my letterforms. I also wanted use objects that would be visually interesting as well as ones that everybody could relate to.
My inspiration was in outstanding billboard where the designer used the negative space created by a conglomeration of bugs. This design was eye-catching as well as playful. I wanted those same dynamics in my own project.
I found about 20 bags of wooden ladybugs at Michael's craft store. I bought them thinking I had purchased a enough to complete my project. I was quickly surprised that I fell way short of having enough ladybugs to complete my concept.
Long story short, I had to order and import 1000 more wooden ladybugs from China. Needless to say, I waited quite a long time to get them and surprisingly I have very few left.
