It’s a Strange and Confusing World
Letters of Note

 

The letters of note project was a way to teach us how to lay type out on a spread in the most expressive way possible. To learn that experience, I’ve picked out a letter this grandfather wrote. It was a heartfelt letter to his 3 week old grandson, which I paired that off with the Air Force creed to connect the teachings the grandfather has for his grandson. The significance of this project to me was how I related to my grandfather. I’ve never formally met him and when I did, I was never given  time to actually speak to him and in all honesty he only met me once.  After that one day meeting for a 30 day vacation he passed away shortly afterwards. All I felt was guilt for not getting to know him more and seeing how this grandson was not able to see his grandfather, I felt it would be a more heartwarming experience for his grandson to have some sort of teaching from his grandfather. This lead to more accurate work, where I wanted to get the tone for the letter spot on and made sure the narrative works and presents empathy whole heartedly.
