Read more about the 2018 BFA Graphic Design Senior Thesis Projects: Thesis2018.newpaltz.design - The website was built and designed by Mika Busante with help from Casey Labatt-Simon.
Over 100 letters of instruction were distributed for this project through acquaintances, family, friends, and strangers. A little over thirty (30+) people wrote a letter to be received 3–6 months in the future. Twenty-five (25) people participated in the video interview. Filming took place in 4 different cities — New Paltz, Albany, New York City, and Tokyo.
