1. Intro: Meeting I


In class:


Overview of class 154a: Communication I with Professor Rebeca Mendez and T.A. Chris O'Leary. The class, from what it seems is a comprehensive class involving our research and execution in identity through an idea. Ideas are to be chosen through allying one's own opinions on website Edge.org.

This blog's intention is to be used congruently with the in-class work produced. It is the process of Jonathan Brandel's work for 154a.

Professor Mendez went over some examples she has worked on with Typography. Included are things that she has shown and other typographic trinkets I enjoy:

Architecture UCLA Admissions Booklet 1998


Art Center Postcard 1990


Digital Medias Booklet 1995


some of my favorites:

Bay Area Rapid Transit Ticket 2006


Emigre Font Foundry Type Book 2006


LinoType Poster 2006


Other things worth mentioning:
Adjunct Faculty Member N. Katherine Hayles


Out of class:


Look up on Edge.org and choose a person. So far I have my eye on three different specialists and their personal views on what makes them optimistic:

Howard Rheingold
Alun Anderson
James O'Donnel
