This class taught me that the little legs on letters means that the font is a part of the serif family, and without legs means sans serifs (without serifs). I thought that was pretty cool. I also learned how to do cool things on InDesign, because I hated InDesign before this class. But now I know how to put a scrolling tray on a layout, or use hyperlinks properly. I also learned that jeopardy is intense and if you don’t pay attention in lecture or keep your notes, you won’t know the answers, like what typeface Volkswagen used to use. I created an awesome resume and learned what analogous colors are. Basically, the ins and outs of graphic design were taught very well in this class, and I am definitely more graphic savvy after this class. It’s been real. It’s been fun.

I learned that you cannot do any project with a subject that you do not like or are not interested in. Therefore, you’re welcome for Chris Evans, aka Captain America. Secondly, I learned that InDesign is irritating and doesn’t like to hyperlink properly. Third, I learned how to use a tiny box to keep my pull tab in place. Go me – or go whoever did the tutorial that showed me how to do it.

I have always loved ESPN’s Body Issue – the photos are stunning and represent what it truly means to be an athlete in such a diverse world. Since the photos take up the entire space of the spread, the dominance is placed on the athletes. The type is simple and informative, adding to the accomplishments of the people featured. Leaving the text small and in one specific corner keeps the focus on the human body and the amazing things humans can push them to do. Oh, and Kaepernick is (a) damn fine (quarterback).
