Week 2A Overview

This is what happens when you have a draft saved and the you forget to re edit it for the following class!!   It's Saturday so it still counts I would hope for Week 2!

For Tuesday we were unfortunately hit with technology failure, and had to do things the "old fashioned way." We were assigned in groups of two and given specific anatomies and font styles, and researched about them to talk to the class about. I was assigned the font type, Monospaced with Jamie. We then went to the website, typetester.org which is a very informative site that can help you see the differences between different types of font.

Between Tuesday and Thursday Jamie and I worked diligently on our Space Jam project! We tackled Parallax Scrolling - and admittedly it's a fun process! We were able to find icon graphics that go right with our theme, so we have applied those as well as text and links from what the previous site had.

Thursday we learned about EM, Pixels, and Inches for type. I found it to be very interesting. We have also been given an assignment of combining a sans serif and a serif font to create an entirely new font. I have chosen to use Didot and Lucida. Here's to hope!
