Extended Aphorisms

by Nolan on June 19, 2012: Design,Photography

Each morning this summer I seem to wake up, run, shower, and run off to my car to go to work, class, or a friend’s house. Summer as an adult sucks – I keep walking by my little sisters splashing in the pool and get super jealous. Said class is in silkscreen printing, where we’re currently working on a text/image project. This cross section of graphic design, photography and writing is right up my alley. Jenny Holzer and Robert Montgomery have greatly influenced this series I’m calling “Extended Aphorisms.” I’ve been writing one of these each night before I fall asleep. Here’s an example of one I haven’t developed into a poster yet:

WRINKLES, LIKE DELAYED TATTOOS OF FEELING, SLOWLY BUT SURELY CAPTURE THE EXPRESSIONS YOU PUT ON MOST. CHEERFUL GRANDMAS THAT WERE ONCE KINDERGARTEN MUSIC TEACHERS HAVE LINES AROUND THEIR LIPS RIPPLING POSITIVELY UPWARDS, WHILE GRUMPY MEN THAT SPENT THEIR HONEYMOON IN PARIS SCREAMING ENGLISH IN A BELITTLING TONE AT TOUR GUIDES HAVE CREVICES DROOPING DOWNWARDS. THESE IMMORTALIZED FEELINGS, LIKE A COSMIC MAKEUP, CAUSE OTHERS TO UNCONSCIOUSLY JUDGE YOUR DISPOSITION.

Below are two mock-ups of prints I will make in the next few weeks. The first one will be printed on sheets of glass as shown, and the second on black paper. Click to see them larger:

A big thank you to Erica Segovia for the background image of the second poster.

  1. I really like reading a post that will make men and women think. Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!

  5. After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Appreciate it!

  6. Can I simply say what a relief to uncover someone that truly knows what they are discussing on the net. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people should check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

Thousands of tattooed men gathered for the annual festival at the temple. We are surrounded by the brand(s) we work for and obviously care about them but we project our feelings, thoughts, perceptions, attitudes and knowledge onto customers and make a giant assumption.

  19. Although the intent is often tongue-in-cheek , and may even indirectly
    promote information design, there is still a risk of diluting, muddling,
    or flat-out mocking a field that has yet to really define and
    take ownership of itself. The bike lanes are just leftover space that could
    be used for rose gardens or anything else.

    The point is that she took something that was dear to her and was a
    significant part of her time and something she really wouldn_t ever want to live without,
    and she lived without it. That whole thing is just weird.
    Is it just me because I’m normally not here nights and weekends?

  20. No, attitude alone doesn_t get you there _ but it helps .

    Because you want power, not current. The only real noteworthy thing to
    say about this is that I made one moderately significant change to
    the end of the series. I know of whores who have more integrity than that.
    Update it for a better user experience.

  29. The way I was trained the truth of legends (or
    myths if you are traditional inclined to a looser
    taxonomy) is irrelevant other than, it_s non-factual status goes some way to establishing classification; still says bag loads about
    the culture in which they move. I tweet them because I believe that the multiplicity
    of perspective, view, and opinion _ even when it differs from mine and maybe especially when it differs from mine _
    is important. Where was the international immunity for Libya
