The Environment Speaks

FoNtsSSsSsS

I was so happy with today's lecture because I saw a partial showing of the movie Helvetica earlier this semester!

Fonts are amazing! They can help depict a mood. You can transform what you think by associating certain terms with a certain typographical style. Have you ever notice how the titles of scary movies are written in the same type of style? I love it! Gosh, I sound so geeky, but I truly do appreciate how the structure of a letter can make you think in a particular way.

Urges 2

Learned some really neat stuff in lecture today. My appreciation for the inner workings of computer graphics has really grown. I can't wait to try to work with Illustrator and to get the hang of Photoshop.

Speaking of Photoshop, they explained the assignment today. I'm not sure which one of the three I'm going to pursue, but I'm leaning towards either the stamp or the appropriation art. We'll see...

Urges

Dear Mr. Potatohead,

Why are you hurting me?

Sincerely,
A Student Trying Hard

The Potatohead experience was hard for me today. It just goes to show you, even if it sounds simple, art doesn't have to be simple at all. I'm going to keep on working with this head and hopefully sooner than later, get the hang of it :-)
