What if future design practices demand a universal design language? How might this change the role and functionality of letterforms and typography? 

Universal language defined.
+ Globalization → human-centric
+ Multi-species / Biocentrism → nature-centric
+ Accessibility → all senses
+ Unified → visual unity
+ Adaptable → evolve overtime
+ Omnipresent → applied to physical & digital
+ Extraterrestrial → beyond earth


AIGA: Head,
Heart, and Hand
Toledo, OH
(2013)
1/7 2/7 3/7 4/7 5/7 6/7 7/7
As a member of AIGA Toledo, I collaborated with a group of designers on a project titled, Head, Heart, and Hand. Each participant was given a puzzle piece, a specific question, and set of directions from which to design from. I received a segment of the head, which represented strategy, and was asked to think about my first creative memory. With these constraints in mind, I chose to illustrate how the dreams of my childhood directly influenced my creativity into adulthood.

Futurespective Residency
The Maine College of Art Gallery
(2019)
1/8 2/8 3/8 4/8 5/8 6/8 7/8 8/8


During the futurespective and improvisational focused in-residence, we sent prompts and records of our experience in the gallery back to graphic design students in the Raleigh classroom. We called these “calls”.  We experimented with mapping, scanning, and recording methods to connect these two spaces. On our final day we captured and compiled these “calls” into one printed “how-to” guide to exhibit in the gallery.

Team. Randa Hadi, Marcie Laird, Madeline Kelly, Nigel Jones, & Denise Gonzales Crisp
