A DREAM BETWEEN TWO RIVERS: STORIES OF LIMINALITY
by KL Pereira
(Cutlass Press, Summer 2017)
A Dream Between Two Rivers: Stories of Liminality is both literary and speculative, both magically real and viscerally strange, in the tradition of writers like Angela Carter, Clarice Lispector, and Jorge Luis Borges. In the collection, Pereira uses elements of fairy tales, folk tales, and myths to highlight the lives of women, children, and immigrants. Pereira explores rebirth in the midst of darkness, free of normative ideas of gender, class, race, and sexuality.

Developing Speed in Creative Problem Solving: The Type Exploratory Project
Created as a lesson in time management and problem solving, the Type Exploratory project tasked one designer and one non-designer (account management, business development, etc) with illustrating the definition of a terribly dead word among the English language. The parameters were:
Rules:
– All participants must use the approved Sabon Roman font
– All participants must use the provided template for size and orientation
– Only letters included in the chosen word may be used
– No color should be used, just grayscale
– The word should be the primary focus of the piece
– Shapes and graphics may be used in supporting roles, but they should be simple and flat
Timing:
– A word and definition will be provided to that week’s designer during Monday morning scrum
– A word can be pondered as long as necessary, but only 1 HOUR should be dedicated to the creation of the final product
– The final design will be presented during Friday morning scrum
