Tomorrow I have to: Turn in my take home Graphic Design History test, go over my Graphic Design Portfolio, do my Literature presentation, and turn in my final painting.
Due to the influences of my History of Graphic Design assignment, I have switched my typeface from Arial, to Verdana. Arial is a cheap ripoff of Helvetica, which is an oft-used typeface, liked for it's comfortable neutrality. Arial made a few minor changes and then marketed it as something completely unlike Helvetica, but you can use in any instance when you need Helvetica! Verdana was created explicitly for legible type on computer monitors. Also, in hope of routing the evil Arial font.
Helvetica: God of Typeface.
Arial: Satan of Typeface.
Verdana: Potential Savior of Typeface.
Verdana: Potential Savior of Typeface.
Is basically how my paper breaks down.
Tonight, when my roommates hear me screaming in my sleep (as I am wont to do) . . . well, I probably won't actually be asleep. Whimper.
Excuse me as I go into a denial tangent. Why the heck doesn't anyone comment on my blog? I have exactly ONE comment and it's from my mother. Happy Mother's Day, by the way, and Happy Birthday. I painted a picture of all of us kids, but you might not like how I did it all in earth tones.
Okay, just took a loonng pause there and did a whole chunk of work on my GD history paper. So, what say you, International, Postmodern, or Contemporary typeface style? I thought so. I'm going to Postmodern, Psychedelic.
I WILL GET THIS DONE. I WILL PREVAIL.
Pray for me.
I'll definitely pray for you! Good luck with finals! I'm looking forward to seeing you! :-D
ReplyDeleteI don't care for the arial font, either, but that's because it's standard/ordinary, and I like more fancier looking fonts. :-)
P.S. General Washington says hi! He didn't have the courage to face the dangers of the river trail leading to Kansas, so he'll try again in the summer to make in time for the fall semester. :-P
