End Of Semester Projects

Fall semester is coming to a close! SO many projects to do, and so little time! I know my blogs have been short lately, but I am working on my final portfolio for the end of the semester. I have to compile all of my Ad design work from this semester and put it all together in a binder and present it to my professors! On top of that I have been in the ceramics studio working on finishing all of pieces for the end of semester critique! Being busy is Definitely the game in college, but it is all worth it! Until next time, take care VPA bloggers!

Creating Fonts

Creating fonts is not such a simple thing. A lot is involved, and I was able to learn some cool things about creating fonts in my Ad Design principles class! There are lots of symbols involved, and this week we had the opportunity to pick a font and do a little research on it. We also had the chance to trace a font in illustrator using nothing but the rectangle and circle tool. That is right, no pen tool allowed! It was a difficult task, but I think I did a good job! I am curious to explore more ways to use font, and hopefully create a font!
