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.
