3. Type: some videos to get us
started
I want to start us out today with a
few videos to give us a little bit of
a transition into talking about
fonts and typography.

8. Some Font Fun
And here are some fun sites
we can tinker around with just
a bit, to show you that type,
like life, can be fun times.

14. How to get nifty fonts
You might notice that most computers– even
the ones here in the super-slick design-minded
labs– don’t have a huge selection of fonts.
This can put you at a disadvantage as a creator.
But not to worry. Fonts are out there.
Let me show you a few cool places to visit.

19. Head to the website to view the
Typography Remix assignment.

33. Pro tip 1:
no pictures means NO PICTURES.

34. Pro tip 2:
short quotes are good.
But super-short quotes are
problematic.

35. Pro tip 3:
while executing this assignment
can be easy or complex,
understanding the proper use of
fonts and colors is CRITICAL.

36. Pro tip 4:
typing a quote from Harry Potter
in the Harry Potter font is not an
automatic win.

37. Pro tip 5:
remember with careful design
less is sometimes more.

38. Due to a death in the family, I
will not be here Thursday.
But… we soldier on. I will be
available via email if you need
me.

39. On Thursday, by 11:59 pm, I want you
to email me the quote you want to
use for your typography remix. Also
keep in mind that we have a rhetorical
analysis and a rough draft due on
October 2nd.
