Afloat

The end of the semester is ALWAYS challenging. No matter how well one tries to plan for it, there seems to be too much to do and too little time. Too much caffeine and too little sleep. I think that what's really important, though, is to end the semester with something to show for all of those long days and sleepless nights.

That brings me to my typography homework for this week... type specimen posters. I chose to research Howard "Bud" Kettler, who designed the typeface Courier. Here's one of my rough drafts...

My process book for this course, intended to show all of the steps I went through in the design process for every project (sketches, research, etc.), is in the works as well. It is a larger project than one realizes at first–trying to put together every bit of work from the entire semester–but it will be nice to show my family what I've been up to in school!

That's all I've got for now... time to get ready for a full day of classes, and pack for the trip home for Thanksgiving!
