woohoo! it’s 7.16am and i have spent 6 hours poring endlessly over a letter ‘b’ and then a letter ‘d’, which is not yet finished- i’m designing a typeface, and it is as utterly fiddly as i expected it to be. i am a perfectionist/pedant/arse and this is the king of all pedantic design, perhaps i have found my calling.
my bf barney is asleep behind me, he’s hilarious when he sleeps. a minute ago he sat up and grinned at me and moved the duvet about like he was planning on staying awake, and when i suggested he pop back to sleep he was out again in about 2 seconds. and before that he was sleep talking. “oh… i was going to use that.. but now you’ve got rid of it.” :)))
only 24 letters to go… and then the uppercase.

Fuck these posters.
All of those classroom posters, really. There are the ones with little kids and rainbows and everyone holding hands together all “around the world” … literally ON the world, and motivational posters with flying eagles and astronauts and “GIVE %110!” … what the Fuck? It’s not even possible to give more than %100, that doesn’t even make sense.
Motivation & true learning are important, not for some job you’ll do to make money for someone else, but for personal & social enrichment, for the pursuit of something more than average, because creativity, when it isn’t restricted by utility, can lead to necessary revolutions. That is real art. I wish I could make something better for all of those kids stuck in their epileptic-seizure-inducing rainbow-prisons who have to look at this shit until class is over… I just don’t know what that is right now.
Also, this & Asimov at SPACE COLLECTIVE.
i miss sixth form and taking politics & english A level, i always knew i would; i love writing essays on interesting things. i need to make more effort to keep learning things now i don’t have to any more.
