Laurie Rosenwald spent a weekend in our grad studio and gave a workshop called “Making Mistakes on Purpose.” The idea was to think less, get away from the computer, let go a little, and perhaps create something surprising and new. The first day, we each had a large pad of paper and some messy mark making tools like paint, crayons, markers, ink, etc. She shouted a word, such as skeleton, and we drew it in seconds. She shouted another word, and we drew that. We did this for hours. The next day, we scanned our images into flickr and drew from that image bank to make very fast design work. She said design a postcard and we grabbed someone’s random image, added some type and tada, postcard! This was a really fun way of exploring another process of working. The last thing we did was make a book in 8 minutes. Mine is about a skeleton who plays the drums, tried being a hippie once, and likes girls who dance to his beats.
