Hi all,
I hope everyone is enjoying the back-end of Spring Break, and you’re all recharged and ready for the last 6 weeks of the semester!
Remember what’s what for this week—I should be seeing everyone once before Friday, so I see your 3 poster variations before the Friday hand in.
Simple type-task this week—find a type related article on the web, and post the link. Alternatively, scan an article from a book and email me the pdf. I’ll post it for you.
As another reminder; some of you didn’t give me digital copies on the friday before spring break. A packaged InDesign file, pdf, and bibliography—pwinfi2@tigers.lsu.edu if you’re still wondering what my email address is!
Otherwise, happy Sunday evening and see you all next week!
Phil

Oh and I forgot to post this as well:
http://www.digital-web.com/articles/typography_and_web_advertising/
It outlines the key elements of design, and Type is number two; closer to the bottom of the article.
