Friday was my first class of Typography and Colour Theory. I have spent the weekend slowly working away on the first assignment, trying to get the hang of using a drawing tablet. To try to sum up the assignment, we had to make a letter in our name and using the ligatures of that letter when we write it in our signature really fancy up the ligatures, while also incorporating the animal that we determined in class as being “us”. (Apparently my ideal vision of myself is a monarch butterfly, my fear is being a siberian husky, and what I truly am is a cardinal.) This is what I came up with:
I am not sure what the professor will think of it, or if it was what he was looking for, but I am quite proud of it and I know I will only continue to improve with more practice.
I also made the blog I was required to make using Blogger for my Social Media and Society class. I used an old domain I wasn’t utilizing which is Graphite and Pixels.com. I didn’t make the layout crazy fancy but I am happy with the readability and simplicity of it.
