We saw a film last night in class called Helvetica. It's a film about a font. Sounds super boring right? But I had no idea how ubiquitous that font is. You see it EVERYWHERE! I think I was the only one who found the film interesting, though. When the prof turned on the light, half the room was asleep.
The Helvetica font makes me think of this Old School Puerto Rican saying when they'd see shit over and over, "I even see it in my soup." But they don't use Helvetica in alphabet soup. Maybe the serifs make the soup taste better? (a little font humour for you).
Hello World!
I am both a newbie in Blogger and I'm a student of Computer Graphics and Imaging. I have an information graphics assignment due today which is my first booklet. The assignment was to create a booklet illustrating my commute to school.
I'm a sophomore in college in my 30's. I chose to switch careers and to finish school. I was in the finance
profession, a totally left-brain field. It's not an ideal environment
for a creative person to be in. Imagine how free I felt when after
staring at invoices and financial statements for years on a computer
screen (all boxes and squares) I now draw and paint with Adobe CS3.
The economy and my lack of experience has made it a little hard to find work in the art field, but I am determined to do what I can to reach my goals no matter how long it takes.
So I'll leave you with this thought, stay true to your goals and follow your heart. If you are unhappy with where your at, then think about what needs to be changed and tweak your life.
