Enamel Merit Pins
These pins were designed to visualize the values and merits of a close friend. I conducted researching the form of surveys, interviews, and self ethnographic journaling to formulate and triangulate the merits that people agreed he embodied, then crafted marks for those merits, and finally created enamel pins from these marks.
The pins signify the following merits:
RED: Signified by a symbol of system
STRATEGIC
MAXIMIZER
STRUCTURED
OUTGOING
YELLOW: Signified by a symbol of dreaming
CONTEMPLATIVE
THOUGHTFUL
LIFELONG LEARNING
GREEN: Signified by a symbol of a keystone
SERVICE MINDED
HARDWORKER
LOYAL
CONSTANT
BLUE: Signified by a symbol of "Core" or Introspection
JUST
HONEST
TRANSPERANT
TRUE
HUMBLE
