Hey there! I'm Smitha, a late-20something designer, violinist, and well-rounded geek. Currently
I am a 2nd-year graduate student enrolled in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

This is the most recent iteration of my personal website, which has been around since 1996. I talk about design, science, music, culture, animation, my thesis, and stuff like that.

Typography experiments

23 January, 2012 – 7:33 pm | Filed under design | No Comments »

A friend said that the following statement summarizes her life philosophy. It stuck with me for some reason, so when I realized it has been way too long since I did any creative, purely visual, fun design, I decided to typeset this.

(done on my work machine, which is running Windows 7, hence the lack of great typefaces at my disposal. I’m also really rusty and know that I’m capable of more when I’m in the swing of things…but it still feels good to have done something.)

I’d made a New Year’s resolution to do something visual/creative every day. Considering that I didn’t even start on that until the 4th or 5th of January, that’s kind of done for. But I do want to try to do more personal, fun experiments. Next up: maybe finding something I can capture in an information design piece?
