Good Impressions:
"Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours" -Swedish proverb
Small, intimate letterpressed cards (not much bigger than a calling card) with 4 word phrases taken from the above Swedish proverb. The blank cards are meant for giver to write a note to the recipient, and kept as a keepsake by the recipient.

bluepoolroad via Felt & WireI imagine the cards being blind debossed (example above) with the phrases. A possible border or edge treatment might be considered as well.
Just Vandy via Felt & WireI see the size being similar to these "just a thought mini notes". 32 2"x3.5" notes for $12.
By using a blind deboss, the message would keep it's intimate and subtle quality while not taking away from the hand-written note to the recipient. Additionally I see the texture of the deboss as something that can be rubbed—like worry stones. Something to keep idle hands busy during times of needed encouragement. A colored edge would allow the card to be easily found in a wallet.

pecha kucha recap
Last week, I gave an in-progress presentation in the style of Pecha Kucha. I looked at it as another project brief—a different way to get my ideas across. Pecha Kucha is a trademarked presentation style with 20 slides, and 20 seconds per slide. I quickly found I had much more I wanted to talk about than the 6.666 minutes allotted. On top of the time restriction, I also volunteered to speak in front of visiting designer, and new Pentagram partner, Eddie Opara. I was the first to present in front of him, and I tried my best to remain casual and confident. After all, I had to come across as the expect of wordplay. He was familiar with Pentagram designer, Harry Pearce's book and recommended to listen to podcast(?) of him speaking about his book.
After the presentation, I am unsure of some of the "nyms" I have chosen, and am looking to revise a few of them. I have to keep reminding myself I can continue pursuing these aspects of wordplay in my future work.
