So close...

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.
