I'm finally back from the wedding.
I was thinking about the thesis/commercial projects on the plane and reflecting on my trip. A few thought that I had were:

1. This is the craziest idea. Making a font from blood. I admit I got the idea from Ian Curtis of Joy Division, who famously signed his record contract with Factory Records in his own blood. Blood makes such potent imagery. And its often used to illustrate equality, We may have different skin colors but we all bleed red, and family being related by blood. This imagery is made even more potent by the discovery of DNA. In the end, if you strip culture away and think about people as just highly intelligent animals. The only thing that really makes us different from one another is our DNA. My first impulse is to use my own blood. However, I don't think I could get enough from just pricking my finger, maybe one letter, not the whole alphabet. I could use cow's blood, but I am a vegetarian and I'm ruling that one out righ away. There is always fake blood, but I don't think fake blood is quite as potent.

2. When I was at the wedding I tried to think of ideas for my weekly project. Almost every guest (because duh, it's hawaii) was some lovely shade of brown. I was thinking about using those skin shade to create a zine called Blind, or Blur. Referring to the way that people always talk about an ideal society as color blind. I don't nessesarily agree with that. I think we should love our differences. Anyway, I want to replace the colors on a blindness test with skintones.
