This was a font design project where we had to create a font using anything we wanted as inspiration. I decided to use pencil shavings, thus the name Shavings. We also had to design a poster to accompany our font. I decided to use this poem on mine:The Pencil.
Broken beyond belief, he seeks aid.
Grating against the symbiotic benefactor.
He improves his life, he makes himself useful.
He leaves behind his past
in a small unobtrusive pile.
Sharpened beyond belief,
to again leave his mark upon the world.
The pencil slowly pulls away
from the sharpener.
