Anatomy of a Font

This week we took a test to see what font best matched our personality. My font is Architype Van Doesburg.  All the letters in my name have different meanings. Stem means it is a straight vertical stroke. Counter is the partially or fully closed space within a character. Arm is the upper or lower stroke that is attached on one end and free on the other. The tail is the descender of a stroke. Crossbars connect to the stroke. Shoulders are the curved stroke of the h, m, and n. Aperture is the open space that occurs in a "c." Bowls are the enclosed space within the character. The bar is the horizontal stroke in a character. Last but not least is the leg. The leg is the straight part of the "k." Take a look at my name above!

What is Graphic Design to me? To me graphic design is visual communication to the world. It is also a way to communicate to people without having to talk to them. I think graphic design is unique because you can make it anyway you want. It can be bold or quite, loud and annoying, pink, green, circle shaped or triangle shaped. There are no rules in graphic design so you can make it your own and let your imagination do the work. You get to make it your own, however you want it.                         http://www.aiga.org/what-is-design/

My Personal Logo

A few weeks ago in e9 we had to design a personal logo that described us. We learned about what different colors and shapes mean in a logo and how it can affect the look of the design. I choose to type my initials. I made my type smaller on the "m's" because I wanted the "H" to stick out, thats also why I made it pink. Pink represents friendliness, inner peace, and harmony. I choose to enclose it all in a circle because it is known as the perfect shape. It is like pure perfection.
