My new friend, the photocopy machine


So, I'm kind of in love with photocopy machines right now. After spending so much time in front of a screen on inDesign and Photoshop, the photocopy machine is a much welcomed change. They might look like standard boring office tool, but there is so much potential manipulation. Although I have only used contrast and zoom I have come up with all sorts of different looking results. It's way sexy.

My face[and]book[s] face this wall






Back in September on one of my first Pearl trips of the semester I bought a large 10 yard roll of paper for only $10. It's kind of amazing. I have used this giant roll of paper for so many things.



Everything from the run of the mill class projects to Jack In The Box.My favourite use of paper is on my wall. I use my wall as a bulletin board since I couldn't tack up a real bulletin board (the walls are extremely hard). Along with personal notes, reminders, a lightbulb, and doodles I tape up various flyers that were handed to me on the street, stickers, and other miscellany. I like to check out what people are designing for the streets and the masses.
