collection of fun experiments 2013-2014
Pinch, 2013
Sculpture
Paper
It was made for a typography contest in my first design class in grad school. Numbers of competitors: 12. Each of us had to think of one word and express this word using whatever forms of design. Mine was "Pinch", so I used color papers and pinched them into the shape of this word. My "Pinch" stood out from other two digital design "Electronic" and "Acute" and won the 1st place and 2 packs of Snickers.
