Thankfully I am done taking classes for now. Instead of classes I am going to have them surgically attach a Spanish-English dictionary to my brain.

LOL!! At least in your area there are lots of people to practice on.

Typography is anything dealing with type, fonts, letterforms, etc. Our first project is going to be making a poster for a fictional art exhibition of an artist in his/her style without showing any of their work.

So, if I'm doing an Edward Hopper exhibition, it would have to be recognizable as his style without showing any of his paintings and using primarily type. It seems kind of tough for the first project of the semester and extremely similar to our final project last semester.

I'm not sure how I feel about the teacher yet. He calls our assignments, "pro-jects" like it's two separate words and he wore a turtleneck without a sweater or anything else over it. Yes, I am super judgy like that. LOL

Well I don’t know how you will work on that and type snarky comments at the same time. That sounds challenging, you will have to scan and post it for our review.

Was that the acrobatic dancer letters? Those were great! This new assignment does sound challenging, but I'm sure you won't have any problems.

Speaking of school ... you probably should call it a night, LOL. Whoever thought of mixing a NFC championship game with Idol needs to be fired.

Did a quick search on Hopper. He has a few with female nudes. Didn’t see any male nudes though, so you could safely do a male nude! LMAO
