Background Noise






































Background Noise

A few years ago I decided to entitle my blog The Hoffenton Times as a way of using part of my last name and to parody to the more well-known blog The Huffington Post. Looking at other designs and trying to figure out how to recreate them has been a great way of teaching myself and sharpening my graphic design skills. This design is borrowing from another typology piece I had seen about a year ago at the Armory show in New York. I don’t remember the artist’s name, but I believe they had either ripped or cut and collaged different pieces of textured paper together. I really liked the piece as a design and using lettering to negate and reduce different fonts and sentences into texture.

Also I just recently created a twitter account mainly to see if I could conjure up some more irrational Internet rage from conservatives. (Just teasing!) I’m still trying to figure twitter out. If you have twitter and follow Tea Party USA you should find me here:  http://twitter.com/#!/LaurenHoffen
