Final Project Musings

5 Things I Learned

1. I learned the anatomy of a character, how to take apart a letter to understand different typefaces.
2. I learned how to set up a page in different kind of styles. Especially if I am doing centered alignment, I need to organize my rags to not look like an awkward shape.
3. I learned how to use type in logo design and how the type is all you really need if positioned and the right typefaces are used.
4. I learned about April Greiman, she is a pioneer of digital design and is known for her New Wave design style.
5. I learned how to classify a typeface, what makes each unique and specific typefaces that fit the classification.
