Semester Reflection

This semester I have learned a lot in this class. I have learned how to:

1. Use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
2. Make icons
3. Make graphics using the pen tool and other shapes
4. Make textures 
5. Combine different pictures together to make one piece
6. Make pop art similar to Andy Warhol's
7. Make colleagues and make it into one image
8. Blend myself in to another picture
9. Typography
10. And of course, make this blog :)

But after all of this and more, I still feel some changes would be nice. After all of this, I still want to make a large graphic of my own, not someone else's. Also, I feel my teacher shows us what to do for 5 minutes and sends us on our merry way to do a project that may not be as good as it should. Just saying....

Review Week Seventeen

Serifs were formed back from when people wrote on stone, just add a little flare on the ends and you have the first serif. There are many kinds but the two main ones are Adnate Serif and Abrupt Serif. Adnate is more organic, joining the stems with a bit of a curve. Abrupt is more.....abrupt, the serifs are more rigid and does not flow.
