Semester Reflection

I have learned so much this semester, and I turned out to be better at a lot of things then I thought I would. Not only did i learn how to use numerous tools in photoshop and illustrator, but i learned a lot of things about having to actually pay attention to certain things which i think is much better. I have learned how to not get so frustrated when something doesn't work out and to stick with it because that would be better than giving up. When things are tedious and annoying, when the work is all done it will turn out that it was all worth it. When you finish a project and you are proud of it, it is a great feeling. Be able to show off your work is great. Sometimes i feel a little rushed, but in the end i finish. Maybe next semester on some of the harder more tedious projects we could get a little more time. That is really the only problem i had because im completely understood how to work all the tools to my best ability! Next semester i would like to work more in photoshop rather than illustrator, because although it may not be true, i feel as if photoshop offers more to do and has a lot of cool functions! So far i love this class and can not wait for next semester :)

Review Week 17

The author asks have you learned something?
I learned a more simpler way to understand serifs. Before I read that article, I thought an ascender was the actual serif, just at the top! He definitely helped me understand more clearly the different between all the parts. Now I have to go change an answer on my blogs! :)

Review Week 16

How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica? 72 points in an inch, 12 points in a pica

Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why? a type of serif because it is best used for magazines, books, and you want to be able to read it.

Identify the lowercase characters that have ascenders? b,d,h,k,l,t,f

Identify the lowercase characters that have descenders? f,g,j,p,q,t


first font:
because it is very uniform 
second font:
i think it is script because it is cursivey and curvy like script! it sort of resembles handwriting.
third font:
decorative because it is very... well... decorative. it is something you would use maybe if you are typing stuff for a scrapbook, or if you want to decorate.
fourth font:
slab serif, because it is still very uniform but it is more blocky and chunky letters.
fifth font:
decorative as well, it looks sort of like a circus theme. it is not something you would use if you were trying to be serious and if you had to make it small for people to read, it would be almost impossible.
sixth font:
serif, it has the little things that come off it.
seventh font:
serif, it is not as formal as a sans serif, but still very readable and it has the little things that come off it.
