Triangles



Triangles

The title came from a story I heard a few months ago about the Triangle Fires that marked its hundredth anniversary this year. The fire was one of the deadliest industrial disasters up until the destruction the World Trade Center in 2001. As smoke and flames filled the building no one could save the 146 young Jewish and Italian immigrant girls working inside the factory building that day. The story struck me for several reasons and leads me to realize how unaware I can be to a lot of histories of buildings I pass by everyday. In a city that is so dense with people, events, and buildings it seems easy to forget a lot of histories and slowly it just becomes disintegrated pieces of information.

On a graphic design note, I was trying something I had seen in a book to create a pixel piece using excel, and I have to say after using excel for graphic design purposes I don’t recommend it. Some programs are best left forgotten.
