			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://99monsters.com/2004/11/mustnt-grumble/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-239" title="close-up of logo" src="http://99monsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/11/thumb-mustnt.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a>A logo for one of my grad year projects. Mustn&#8217;t Grumble was a line of knitted accessories that used intarsia (a technique using multiple strands of colored yarn) to render enlarged, pixelated typefaces. I used typefaces specifically designed for flash animation.</p>
<p><span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>I designed and developed an online shop in Flash to exhibit the pieces and sold wrist warmers, arm warmers, scarfs and hats. I exhibited some of these designs at the 2004 Bad Type conference at St. Bride&#8217;s Printing Library in London.</p>
<p>The typeface in this logo is based on letterforms from Unibody, one of the pixel fonts I was using in my knitting patterns. I knitted the words, then scanned and digitally traced the resulting fabric, warping it to show that it was flexible and reminiscent of the actual textile. The angry knitter is a pixelized illustration, referring to the often monotonous, frustrating labor of the craft.</p>
