Whoa, yo.
Another semester come and gone.
Honestly, I am having a hard time believing that I am finishing up Typography II. For so long, it was this sort of unattainable dream, akin to a fairy tale. The idea of finishing up my degree in Graphic Design seemed so far off that it was not even realistic.
But suddenly it is on the calendar. I will graduate one year from now. It is in my line of sight.
And that is exciting. I realize that a degree is not the end all, be all. I realize it won't make me famous or get me a job. But it will certainly make me feel good about myself, hey?
So, yeah.
Ever since I started the Graphic Design program at UWM, I was aware that Typography II is the hardest class that I will face. Not that Type I is easy, it's just slightly less demanding than Type II. Slightly.
Now I feel like I am out of the thick of it.
I've finished my semester project - a 225 page book, each page typographically designed - and am simply awaiting its arrival via UPS.
Yay!
What you see above is the entire cover of the book. The spine sits in the middle, so imagine that.
