Design, for me, is something that has always peaked my interest. But, this last year, I developed a love for photography and videography that I never knew I had. I talked about Instagram in an earlier blog post but I am going to touch on it again right now. Instagram is my favorite social media … Continue reading Design Blitz →
After this lesson and playing the games listed, I learned how important font and typography are in how people understand and feel about a certain product and logo. The meat of the design was actually in the smallest detail, like the kern type. The imbalance in the type was distracting and unsettling until it was … Continue reading Typography
What an exciting week learning about fonts!! I have a love for handwritten letters and hand lettering as an art form (I’m super bad at it but I still like to do it) so this was super fun to see the differences in all of the different aspects of font. The kerning exercise (kern type) … Continue reading Typography Games →
It was interesting exploring the influence and types of fonts. This is how my experience went: I shot the serif: I felt like this game was politically incorrect. Just because these letters had tails does not mean they deserved to be shot to their death. Honestly, I’m just kidding. This game didn’t really give me … Continue reading Typography →
Game 1: Shoot the serif – I felt like this game didn’t really give you much information at the beginning so I was left with a gun and no inclination of what to do with it. However, eventually I was able to figure out the gist of the game and began to recognize the serif…

As I take my daily route to classes on the University of Oklahoma campus, I’ve noticed ads and signs incoorperating the design concepts of color, typography, form/function/message and proportion. I also recognized the design concept […]
The three typography games I decided to play are Shoot the serif, Typewar, and Type Connection. Shoot the serif: I really liked this game! It keeps you on your toes with the clock counting down to 0. In this game, the person playing is the shooter and their goal is to “shoot the serif”. Your goal is to shoot the serif before the time runs out. You are also given a score, and with this score, you are able…
After watching Justin Seeley’s Introduction to Graphic Design, I have a better idea of how important typography is. Typography is just one component of creating a design, but it is a very important component. Its is one that draws the audience in and makes or breaks a design. It’s all like a big puzzle and […]
This week I learned about something that honestly never really crossed my mind in the past. Typography is the “the style and appearance of printed matter” and it is actually really important, especially for people in public relations. I played a few typography games online to familiarize myself with different fonts and it was actually … Continue reading Typography →
