Exercise: Sister Corita

When I read the article on Sister Corita, there were two things that really struck a chord with me. One was how she worked. I kind of had forgotten that Adobe is a relatively recent program and back in the day, if you wanted to manipulate something you had to use silkscreens and dark rooms to get the photo to what you want.

The second was her use of type was very precise and intricate. It always kept your eye to the page. It's just impressive that she did this all before the computer. She also would have a lot of motivational phrases to help her going. She was inspired by The Eames'.

So I tried to emulate her style in my own way. I think I was successful. "Make a movie with your eyes" was apparently a saying she had. It is also very Eames-like.
