occupy kc logobuild process!

i knew from my early concept that the i wanted to use the idea of a multitude of individuals working together to become one thing, which is was very significant to a movement such as occupy. my first instinct was to collect handwriting from all of the people around me. i knew i needed to start something, so i started there, even though i wasn't confident in how i was going to use it. luckily this worked better than i had imagined! later, i conducted a similar "hey, would you mind please donating a moment" survey when i went through studio asking for voices.

[nb: i do think it is important that you know that i did, in fact, really consider going over to occupykc and collecting writing and voices from them, but i had a real problem with the presumptuous implications of those actions, as though i, personally, was deigning to do them a favor but needed them to help me out first. probably this is a stupid and unfounded belief and i should've done it, but i couldn't shake that feeling of being an outsider, and consequently, stuck to my largely apathetic classmates.]

a fun fact: i learned how to use a script to place whole folders worth of files into illustrator at once because i did not want to place each of those we-s independently, on account of there are ~100 total. here's a stack of them all at once, placed by my script. i don't think i'd ever seen so many highlight colors!
