We met Wendy in the park for a talk. I wasn't entirely sure what it was exactly that Wendy does, but she spoke alot about radio. She was kinda all over the place, but I loved her for that... she was like crazy, fun, quirky Wendy and I loved the wrap skirt she was wearing. When working in radio, you have no visual so you have to think and create it in your head. You have to create a thread that leads you through the story until the end and also lets the audience still have their own opinion. Wendy said to pick one word with image. She also mentioned how important music and word association was, the music choice gives time, feeling, atmosphere... all important components in creating a visual.
Next we went to Satwinder Sehmi's calligraphy studio. A lot of the stuff was a repeat from his visit to Delaware last year, but he still does beautiful work. He showed us how the different angles of the nib makes different strokes. He has amazing accuracy, like when he has a list of people for invitations or name cards. Seeing some of his bigger pieces was interesting because then you really got to seem him play with the letterforms and use the page. And lastly, he put a big "A" on Alicia's arm and put gold leaf on it.
