  • Grad Type Final Crit

    For our final grad type class, we had to print our final project, a poster for a fictitious event at the MoMA, and present our identity projects. We spent most of the second half of the semester working on the identity project, of which the main deliverable was business cards. However, we also needed to…

  • Type Calendar

    in

    As I mentioned before, my typography class has been a challenge for me. Next week all of the projects from the first half of the course are due, as we will be switching instructors from Karen Moyer to Kristin Hughes. Our last project is designing a calendar. For whatever reason, I got a billion ideas…

  • Me and Type

    For six weeks I??????ve been studying typography. On occasion, I??????ve produced something halfway to halfway decent as a result of some happy accident or a course of placement and treatment that did not necessarily follow from any typographic prowess.

    I’ve mostly been talking about my Design Seminar class with Dick Buchanan and my Interaction and Visual Interface Design with John Zimmerman because those classes involve more discussion of ideas, which are easier to write about.

As I have designed and developed with Flash for many years, I got this course waived. I then signed up for Graduate Typography.…

  • Playing it Safe

    While I was quite happy with my poster yesterday, today is just seemed okay. I had a suspicion that it was too safe. It worked well, but I felt like I didn’t really push myself. Type Poster Stacie essentially confirmed my suspicion when I asked her. She also commented that I seem fairly familiar with…

  • Type Poster Complete

    in

    It’s amazing how each week we go from nothing to a full-blown production. On Monday it seems implausible that we will actually accomplish the task given to us. This week I went from arranging magazine cutouts on an 8×11 piece of paper, to arranging an 11-page document on a 30×72 poster. Last week I could…

  • Grid Systems Project

    in

    Our project for the week is to use supplied text in the context of a large poster (30″x72″), a book, or a website. Because I have lots of web experience, I was not allowed to choose the website, so I chose the poster. The supplied text is about 10 pages, so putting all that content…
