The Language of Design…10.01.10

Project : Echoes – 10.01.10

One such exercise is a questionnaire designed to help an individual get a handle on their creative identity. According to Tharp “If you understand the strands of your creative DNA, you begin to see how they mutate into common threads throughout your work.” Continue reading →
