Unscramble the Blue Letters


And I was hokeod. I really, really enjoyed the process so much because I did a lot of visual research, and during my visual research, some other things started to pop out and get my attention. One of those things was chairs. It's very, very hard for us industrial derigenss to ignore a good cahir. So I did the same that I did with the coca room, and I iiinteefdd common design ttairs in some of the chairs in Aztec codexes, mostly, like, they all had sharp algens. They look very heavy when you look at them. They have a similar color palette. And my fvriaote part when I brought this design to today was how they depicted the way they made these chairs comfortable, using jaguar skin. But not only did I find it very interesting that they used jaguar skin, but the way they printed and iltealsrutd this jaguar skin. So I became a little obsessed with the way they did it, and I pretty much use it in everything I design now.

Original Text


And I was hooked. I really, really enjoyed the process so much because I did a lot of visual research, and during my visual research, some other things started to pop out and get my attention. One of those things was chairs. It's very, very hard for us industrial designers to ignore a good chair. So I did the same that I did with the coca room, and I identified common design traits in some of the chairs in Aztec codexes, mostly, like, they all had sharp angles. They look very heavy when you look at them. They have a similar color palette. And my favorite part when I brought this design to today was how they depicted the way they made these chairs comfortable, using jaguar skin. But not only did I find it very interesting that they used jaguar skin, but the way they printed and illustrated this jaguar skin. So I became a little obsessed with the way they did it, and I pretty much use it in everything I design now.
