*perhaps its too late to think straight...but i've hit a wall.

maybe the design wouldn´t have to illustrate the social conscious in an direct way at all, liek in a symbol or something.
as long as the overall style doesn´t look unpersonal/business like/dead serious, in regard to typeface and colour, it would fit good enough even without an illustrated representation of the topic.

err maybe i should just slap a piece of classic clip art on there...unicorns? yeah...thats timeless and classy. i'm on the right track, right?

social and metal smith also makes me think Hammer. Add a sickle for controversy.

her last project focused on people's material desires, and misplaced concern/ consiousness of the world today. She used the Coach brand (ridiculously overpriced designer purses, jewlery, etc.) as her subject- she replicated Coach earrings, turning them into a promotion of 'change'- using the same font as the coach 'c', she turned the pattern into a pattern with 'change' hidden amongst the rotation of the c.
