objective

My objective is to explore different ways of identifying things with pantone colors. For example, an identity system using color instead of words. The book will consist of 3 parts, the first being people, the second being numbers and found type, and the third being similarities between the two connections. As of right now its all still a little unclear as to what exactly i'll be in the end. However, I believe the more I collect the more evident it'll become to myself.

cracks

I can't seem to find a connection within the reading and this exploration. What the hell. I think I'm looking too hard. I'm going to look else where.

PS-I don't know why my photos continue to be blue...does anyone have the same problem?

Exploration #8_Cracks

#8 Cracks_map out pavement cracks in your neighborhood. 

I decided to address this exploration little differently by documenting the cracks a beginning with an end. My starting point was from the driveway outside my house to where ever the cracks lead me inside.

quotes and connections

Quotes from "Spine"

Some connections I made from the reading and with my exploration. I don't know why they're neon!?

Caffeine Consumption

Experience #15 is to keep track of everything I consume in a day or week. I decided that my diet of subway and chicken fingers wouldn't be that exciting. So instead I recorded my consumption of coffee and soda for six days. 

Now I know why I don't sleep....

Possibly a connection...

While sitting in class overviewing my experiences I noticed a slight connection between the two. In my first experience instead of finding one color to match a paint chip, I arranged the colors into palettes. Where as in my second experience I took a photo of the type, and then felt the need to identify and categorized the typefaces.

For some reason (without being conscious of it) it seems as though I naturally gravitate towards categorizing things any way I can. This is mannerism is totally new to me.

Found Type

Below are different uses of typefaces I documented around Sarasota over the weekend. I first labeled where I found the typography. I didn't really feel like that was enough though. So I went back and also made a stab to identify what typeface is used.
