More 3/21

Response
I thought I would respond this week to the logos we did. It is always fun to look at everyone's creativity in class. I am always amazed at some of the stuff people do. From today's class I was really impressed by Jordan's and Kristin's work. I really liked Kristin's typography and color use. Her logos really got at what I was trying to do, but didn't feel like I accomplished. They looked " "sheek" and country at the same time. She used fall red colors which I had trouble pinning down as a good color, but it works perfectly for the farm look. Jordan, like always, had some of the most innovative ideas that were practical. I like her stuff because she always seems to have fresh ideas, but they also work and aren't hard to picture as being used.
But everyone did good. I was worried from everyone saying their's were not good that we wouldn't have great stuff to look at. But we pulled it off and I think the Goatsbeard people have lots of working options and good ideas to choose from for a new logo.

You can't miss

Me! You can't ( and probably won't) miss me next class we have after break on Tuesday. I will most likely be flying to Green Bay, Wisc. that evening to interview with the Packers (the NFL football team there) that Wednesday for a job. So pray for me so that one more of us can say we are doing something with ourselves after we graduate. I've heard from Andrea that she has a job offer and I've heard rumors of Yolanda doing some things. I knoe we are all hitting a crossroads where we are stressing about jobs. So let's keep everyone posted. I am a big fan of everyone in our class and I hope everyone gets to do something they love with their experiences.

An interesting news article about how students are learning italic handwriting now as opposed to cursive. Apparently there is an legibility concern with adults.
