Thumb twiddling is frequently used as an example of a useless, time-wasting activity, much like procrastination, but I think it’s more of a way to slow down, relax, and appreciate time.

Use #thumbtwiddle to join the movement and become a Thumb Twiddler!

The Thumb Twiddle Movement explores the idea of positive procrastination through slowness and positive well-being. The goal of the movement is to de-stigmatize procrastination and the negative feelings
associated with it and encourage the use of procrastination as a tool for slowing down, self-reflection, and stress relief.

This type poster is a reflection of the typography that can be found around the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.

Paying homage to the golden age of wood type, we had the opportunity of designing contemporary 17 in x 50 in wood type posters, in an Advanced Typography class with Peter Cocking. This poster features the awe-inspiring response given by astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, on The Most Astounding Fact.

The colour palette is inspired by interstellar tonalities, paired with a tilted gradient to allow for an atmospheric feel. As well, a stereo anaglyphic twist on certain letterforms for an added touch of visual contrast in type perception.

In the world of music, not only can the spoken word be emotive & evocative—it can also be expressed and brought alive through typography. This typographic poster was inspired by musical sensation, Imagine Dragons' On Top of the World, and brings to light the colourful and uplifting landscape of the song piece. Situated atop an oceanic gradient, it has been designed to allow the eye to follow the lyrics through a deep sea journey.
