When it comes to design, i prefer to take a more traditional approach. To be able to create a piece without the use of computers for me creates a sense of freedom that I feel that I do not get anywhere else. During my first year of college I took a class in 2-D Design, it was the best class that I have taken in my college career. We all of our projects were in black and white and we explored the use of lines, curves, shapes, contrast, and collage. All of the pieces below are from that class and are done by hand using paper, rubber cement, and an exacto knife.
