Ice, ice baby
By Alisa in Design, Ideas, Photography, School, UofAThe final project for my typography class is to make three-dimensional experimental type that interacts with space. I’m playing around with ice letterforms. I like how time is such a big player in the shape and existence of the letters. Time’s role isn’t very apparent with the written word.

Younger Generation
By Alisa in Art, Internet, School, UofAI was talking with Andrew Ling the other day, and I told him that I had never made an html table before. Though I’ve been playing with html for a long time, I’m part of a CSS generation. In my web design class, tables have never even been mentioned. They’re a nightmare from the past. [...]
Visual Subversion Exercise

Morning Ritual
By Alisa in Art, School, UofA, VideosIn my ceramics class, our final project was to create a ritual involving clay. I eat oatmeal every morning, so I suppose that’s a ritual for me.
