A Great Quote

"I'll use Arial when Helvetica freezes over."

I thought you guys might enjoy that one. My friend from grad school let me in on that little nugget.

Comic Sans = NO!

A great contribution from one of your classmates in the Graphic Design 1 Course. Good one Sean.

I have to share this video with everyone in the type and graphics classes. I think you know enough to get all the jokes. If it's to cheesy I'm sorry, I just thought it was funny. Came across it a couple of years ago. I hope you enjoy it and see that graphic designers do have a sense of humor :)

Thinking With Type by Ellen Lupton

Here is a great reference site. I use this book when setting up many of my lectures and lessons for the type 1 course. If you can't purchase the book, I recommend referring to the website.

THINKING WITH TYPE

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.
