Now A Friend With Typography
I have never truly learned much about typography before so this assignment was interesting and fun for me.

Color
Color is one of my favorite parts of design. I moonlight as a painter (it’s one of my favorite hobbies), and I love experimenting with color. Color also alway drawn me to art, graphics, and publications. The book I’m currently reading is a great example of color.

I thought that the illustration and use of color was great because it captured …
Typography
These typography games were very fun and informational. I especially liked the “Shoot the Serif,” game because it tested your speed in identifying serif or sans serif fonts. Not to mention it reminded me of the song “I shot the Sheriff” by Eric Clapton. But that’s beside the point. These games are just quick and … Continue reading “Typography”
