A Whole Site Dedicated to the Ampersand!

A whole blog dedicated to one of my favorite characters and I hope one of yours as well. If it isn't it will be after this.

AMPERSAND

Another Great Blog!

Blogs are great! Another interesting contribution from one of your classmates. Apparently it as a designer who posts a beautiful capital letter everyday. An inspiration for finding great type around us. Here is a great example of a lovely uppercase B.

An Interesting Website

Hello Classes, here is an interesting website about typeface sharing that one of my friends made me aware of. It looks like a great place to learn about different typefaces and type identification.

Readings & Lectures

You may have noticed that the blog postings have changed a little bit. Due to privacy and copyright issues I have placed our lectures and readings on ANGEL. You will find what you need under your specific class listing, and the folders for the lectures and readings will be in the LESSONS section. I'm still trying to figure out ANGEL so please let me know if things are working. I will probably only use ANGEL for the purposes of posting the readings and lectures. All other administrative things will happen somewhere else. I will still be using the blog however to post interesting findings, books, and websites. I'm hoping to get some pictures of work up soon! So keep watching.
