Assignment 3: Final

Rules:

A typography laser cutting
Functional

Inspiration:

I continued with my original idea of corruptions of popular culture and created a set of wooden, engraved coasters with fitness quotes that sound terrible when applied to drinking. I also added a few that were reminiscent of other pop icons like Nike, and Alice in Wonderland.

Design:

I created my typography using stereotypically Western fonts to go with the wood material and eventual beer stains. There are nine designs: 4 fitness/drinking quotes, 1 Nike slogan, 1 Alice in Wonderland, 2 drug references and the Pirate Bay X Louis Vuitton from my original sketches.

Unfortunately, I was unable to laser cut out the wood I bought despite being what I had previously been told. So I used a jigsaw and a power sander to create them as circular as possible.
