“This presentation was prepared for a lecture in Melissa Cicozi’s undergrad Design History class at CMU. Standard disclaimers apply: This was not carefully fact-checked, and it very much represents my personal view of what has been and is now important. Caveat emptor, and bon appetit.”

“Since Digital Web Magazine had no idea what their new logo should actually look like, they gave me carte blanche for the initial concepts. Not an easy assignment — many questions started popping into my head. Who do I actually design the logo for? Who is their audience? What does that audience feel comfortable with? And so on… The answers to such questions are fundamental in order to create a decent and representative logotype.”

“A key element of Quaker practice is the weekly Quaker meeting. Apart from occurring on Sunday, it’s similarity to other Christian practice ends there. In Quaker meeting, the group sits, silent. Again, no clergy, so no sermon. The only time a Quaker speaks is when the spirit moves her. A Quaker is asked to speak only if it will improve upon the silence. This is a substantial threshold. Entire meetings may go by without a sound. A kind of group meditation. Encouraging real reflection.”
