Zohran for New York City wordmark

I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now.

TL;DR lead designer was Aneesh Bhoopathy of Forge Co-Op

Photoshop turned 35 this week and I’m having all the feels because I’ve been using it for all but 5 of those years.

Some memorable quotes:

β€œThe conundrum of life is so beautiful and so temporary”

β€œIt is work to be with grief. I’m encouraging that because in the other side of it there’s space for joy.”

β€œIt is courageous to be vulnerable”

β€œEvery heart carries the potential for profound healing”

It was a lovely talk on the them CYCLE from healing arts professional Linda Anne Goulet speaking to the cycles of grief and sorrow. Having lost another pillar of our friend community this year I pretty much cried the whole time.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

A thread about my experience at Creative Mornings Monterey: Thread with speaker Domini Anne 🧡

The speaker (Domini Anne) does body and movement work, as well as fashion design. She is not a visual artist & explained that she used generative artwork for her slides because β€œTo me my relationship with AI is that I finally have a tool to bring my inner world to life”

An interesting perspective πŸ‘€

β€œWe don’t know what stories people are weaving around the snags in their garment” πŸ₯°

β€œIf you don’t have options, you don’t have freedomβ€πŸŽ―

β€œIt’s all perfect if we choose to look at it that way and if it’s imperfection it’s a work in progress” πŸŽ‰

β€œWhen we can create a through line, a thread, it can help us understand why something happened…that’s not a bad thing, but we’re still landing in the darning spiderweb. The other option for trauma is we block it, we leave the hole & find a different garment and we all know how that works out”
