Rikke Otte

Experimental Typography. 'The concept in this project is to transform music into type. All lyrics were on the outside and graphic elements became the inside experience of the music represented as a poster to be folded out, just as music folds out from the speakers. The inside text is a review of the music, and each graphical element is a representation of a certain sound or instrument from the music.'

—'I wish to create curiosity. Not just towards my work, but towards life in general. To make people remember that there are different ways of seeing and experiencing life.'

Jon McNair

Illustrator (MICA alum) living in Michigan. "Mostly I just draw draw draw, although I'm trying to get more into painting. A good deal of my time is spent imagining what I should draw next. I'm always on the lookout for meeting other artists and participating in cool projects and collaborations, so if you yourself are an artist, don't hesitate to say hi : )"

"As an image-maker I am foremost interested in storytelling or in the least, a certain implication of narrative." "I am also interested in the idea of nostalgia, folklore, the folk hero, archetypes in film and literature, and the traditions and sagas of different cultures around the world."—Toby Thane

The work of Casper Heijkenskjold, a danish designer currently doing an internship at Sagmeister's office in NY— is insightful and at timesinterested in inspiring a reflection upon the rol of design in society. "I see the process of communicating visually as a way to explore new paths and a way to get to know myself and the world around me better. It enables me to think about how things are connected and to have fun while I am here."
