september: ace of diamonds, two of spades

the neat thing about this project is that because i have a time constraint (and i'm not being graded on anything), i'm forced to finish cards in a timely manner, instead of obsessing over every tiny detail. i think this can really help in being prolific and learning to work efficiently.

here are two cards i made last night:





one thing i'm realizing is how dependent i am on dafont.com (another project: making my own set of fonts!) and how much i like to cling to certain styles and types. for instance: i would like to use the "A" font for pretty much every card.

here's a fun time for your input, and potentially some ideas. what inspires you this month?

    Use the hell out of the A font til you get tired of it. You may find something special along the way, it will probably lead you to other things. (Besides B)

    yes, please make your own font! that would be awesome. also, i've never heard of dafont.com, so thanks for introducing me to it.

    as for my inspiration this month:
    - people who travel 3 hours to work each way to make $10 for the whole day.
    - mothers.
    - people who stand up to racist or anti-women comments.
    - people who are self-motivated (seems to goes with your 2 of spades card).

    ... i guess it's obvious that i'm mostly inspired by other people. ha.
