Jodies first post.
Thoughts on semester two so far.
Wasn't too keen on drawing the letters at first, but after attempting it a few times, finally started to get the hang of it. I would say I respect type faces a lot more, can understand the time dedicated to make type and how long the process must of taken in order to get fonts as perfect as they are today. Its quite eye opening, as we as humans use and see text everyday, yet we never consider the time and effort put into these texts, nor do we think about how much thought went into them. Tried inking my letters for the first time last night which proved to be alot more difficult than i thought as you can't be as precise as a pen (the fact that my painting skills aren't very good, probly doesn't help either). Im sure if i persist in using ink, I should be able to improve my skills and finally get it right. /:
Shared Knowledge has been quite the confusion for me over the last few days, but after talking to our tutor and group discussion at the library after our lecture, it sounds like our team might finally have a topic we all like and can be passionate about. We looked into 'Industrial Revolution', and then next you know, we went from having no ideas, to having too many - defs a positive! Was mint that we all went away with heaps of different ideas and aspects, and am looking forward to getting stuck into research and discussing our topic over with a tutor on monday, hoping it will be all A-OK!
Not sure if im being formal enough for this blog. But we'll see :)
Jodie.
