CHOOSING A THEME
not all goodbyes are bad!
We’ve all said goodbye, whether it was to another person, an object, a time in our lives, or even a version of ourselves. While they’re often thought to be sad or serious, they don’t have to be! Goodbyes can be words, warm hugs, gifts, an empty wrapper, or a trip to goodwill. Sometimes our goodbyes aren’t forever, or even by choice, and sometimes our goodbyes are for the better.
For my print exchange, I asked the participants:
​
what have you said goodbye to?
what color?
PINK, OF COURSE!
CHOOSING VESSELS

so what're we puttin' all
these prints in?
Expanding off of my theme, I decided that each print would go into envelopes for letters and cards that could act as an expansion of each participants' work.
​

​
All the prints from the exchange, once in their envelopes, were tied with ribbon (like little parcels) and placed into
larger pink folders.
​
But what should go on the folders?
GOODBYES

There's a tradition at Murray State University that the graduating senior(s) in printmaking design and organize a class print exchange. The theme I chose for my exchange was "Goodbyes".
BUILDING THE FONT
I was wanting a display font that was organic, heavy, and textured.
