For our final project, we decided to use my idea to incorporate a sock/glove drive to give back to our community. We eventually decided on the phrase, "Show You Care, Pin a Pair." We discussed multiple different ideas for materials. Our final decision was to tile print our words, and cut the letters out of foam core. We will have stick pins stuck into the word "Pin," the word "CARE" will be wrapped in red soft fabric, and the words "show you" and "a pair" will be painted/decorated to give a cozy winter/holiday vibe. We will also create an info flyer with details about our project and instructions on how to donate. Donators will take a pin from the word pin and stick their socks or gloves to the word "CARE," eventually filling the word completely with donations. We chose a square blocky font for the word "CARE" called "squarefont" and "Titillium" for the other words.

My contributions to this project included:
