Experimental Design: MAXIMALIST type workshop [ MVA vlog 108 ]

A lot of my vlogs are about figuring out what your ideal working style is but how do you do that? Well, the way I hope to help my students to do it is through short graphic design workshops where we keep our goals really simple and focus on working faster than we’re thinking. This episode documents the Maximalist exercise that I run in my Intro To Typography classes and it shows the set up (in case you want to do it yourself), the work I did in that 75 minutes, and the ideas that came up during the end-of-class review about speed, working style, and getting to “good enough” instead of perfect.
