100 Days of A
This personal project was based on the popular design exercise originally conceived by Michael Beirut for his Yale University class. The idea is to pick a simple creative task and repeat it every day for 100 days. Through consistency and repetition, unexpected solutions emerge that would have never been apparent at the start.
For my task, I chose to draw the letter A. It’s a letter I’m very familiar with for obvious reasons (A-A-RON!), but I had never really explored how far the form could be manipulated while remaining recognizable. Over the course of several months I discovered abstract, illustrative, and purely typographic solutions that ranged from the obvious to the obscure.
