For a Good Cause
An opportunity came up to help Mastercard’s Stand Up To Cancer initiative by developing a lettering headline for a banner in Times Square. The banner was used to help promote “The Priceless Table”.

All contributions made from the event were donated to the Stand Up To Cancer charity. Here’s a look at the exploratory phase for the main headline used on the banner.

I’ve wanted to do a Clipse inspired post for some time as they’ve always balanced the raw and real with wit and intelligence. Our Skillshare class “Why We Letter” was the perfect opportunity to pay homage.
