Completed pie chart made on students' desks instead of chart paper during Paperless Day 2010. Concept: fractions, decimals, percents
This is student work from today's "stick figure drawing class". I didn't do the drawing, I just photographed it. It illustrates a good sense of form and balance. He's off to a good start. I also like that he doesn't have to do a full block or body, like I do. He's moved straight to outlines of people, and that's fine.
Rather than designing a currency for the large and diverse neighborhood of Chelsea, I decided to focus in and design a currency for one building in that neighborhood: Chelsea Market. Chelsea Market was built as a factory for Nabisco, but it now hosts offices, grocery stores, retail shops, and restaurants. The building’s architecture is inspired by its factory roots, so I thought it would be interesting to design a currency inspired by its former factory products. Each denomination in my currency adopts the form factor of a Nabisco cracker: Nilla Wafers, Fig Newtons, Oreo Cookies, Ritz Crackers, and Saltine Crackers. The geometric design from the face of the Oreo Cookie is used to tie all five of the designs together.
