The Zodiac Collection Inspiration
When Rarer was just refinishing furniture, there were many hours of sanding furniture where the mind would just wander. I would think about maybe sitting at a computer in air-conditioning wouldn’t be such a bad idea as I was sweating it out in my garage on a typical summer day in DC with 90 degree weather and 80% humidity. I’ve always had this idea about doing something creative with the Chinese zodiac animals ever since I was tied to a computer drawing architectural details in CAD. And, I have always loved font. I would spend hours looking through fonts trying to pick the perfect one for my kids’ birthday invitations. So I came up with these designs where the graphic design and font work together to evoke characteristics of the animal.
