Will you help me make more variations of my logo?
Hello? Will you help me reach my target of “near infinity” logos? Will you help me populate image searches with these, my perfect language? It is starting to seem as though I may never realize this dream alone.
If you can use illustrator, and have 15 minutes to pump out a variation (examples) , I will send you a postcard in thanks. Then I will post your variation with credit.
E-mail hello AT rayfenwick.ca if interested. I will send you a template file with “instructions”.
Yrs infinitely,
Ray

JUROR

She is particularly interested in where sociopolitical/historical issues and creativity converge with visual culture and civil engagement.
Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Piazza del Popolo, c. 1750
From the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History:
Until the construction of railways in the nineteenth century, visitors from abroad entered the city of Rome through the Piazza del Popolo. The area acquired its monumental profile under Pope Sixtus V, who oversaw the construction of twin churches opposite the gateway into the square and the placement of an Egyptian obelisk in the center. In Piranesi’s view, the obelisk extends almost from top to bottom of the composition, dwarfing the spectators gesturing beneath it and the coaches that circulate nearby. Radiating into the distance are the three great avenues that lead, as Piranesi’s caption reminds us, to three popular tourist destinations, namely, the Piazza di Spagna, the Palazzo di Venezia, and the Porto di Ripetta.
