Some changes with my experimental type...

Okay, my package design is changing suddenly, mid-stream, because I decided to add Cyrillic handwriting to my font face. Therefore, out with the office supplies and in with the Russian theme, such as nesting dolls. Does anyone else have any great ideas? 

Seeking Help...

I really don't understand what alphabets or letters or what I am supposed to be drawing for the "cards" project. I understand everything else that is written in the description of the project and that I'm supposed to find the letters in the Bringhusrt book....which fonts though, what letters? Is this the whole alphabet in one or many fonts? Is this just one letter in many fonts? Someone, anyone in Kate's 254 class, please, please, please help me.

Response to the House Industries Interview

I'm intrigued by this interview because I wasn't quite sure which experimental typeface I wanted to push, but now I can narrow it to 2. I could go with DeDea Hand or Paperclips and come up with some free office supplies as a promo for "buying" the font. Obviously, I don't have four years to research and develop an entire line, but I have had experience making notepads with a press and book-binding glue, which is one idea. I could also calenders, desk or wall, and maybe even memo-mouse pads or personal stationery. Just some ideas that jumped at me when I read the interview.

I am Tuesday

My name is actually Robyn, my family has called me DeDea (DD) since I was four months old, and my boyfriend and his friends renamed me Tuesday. As you can see, I suffer from some sort of identity crisis. However, all of my personalities are very interested in obtaining our degree in graphic design from PSU. We're currently enrolled part-time and we're taking a Typography. I'm really pretty excited about the class because I'm kind of a type nerd. I've actually been able to name fonts being used in professional work like brochures and flyers on telephone posts.

Some of my favorite fonts are Night Club, Palatino Linotype, and Bradley Hand ITC. I'm particularly fond of the Bradley Hand ITC type because it's an elegant italic handwriting, and in using the word italic, I don't mean just slanting everything to the right like this, italic, but more like the term used for writing, such as cursive or print. Typefaces that are of the plainer sort, or more commonly used, are also appealing to me. For example, I really like Bodoni, particularly the capital R and the lowercase A and G.

I get excited about various things, but mostly about experiences. I really like to experience new things in life; however, the jury's still out on this new blogging thing I have to do for both of my classes this term. It doesn't excite me so much, but I'll give it my best effort at liking it. It's nothing against blogging so much as it is that I'm just not much writing down chit chat. I'm a verbalizer. I like to talk (not to mention, I'm a lousy typist). I do like to read, though, even the text books I'm required to read (some are rather interesting as well as informational). Some of my favorite books tend to be the classics, like the Anne of Greene Gables series and Tom Sawyer, but I also like newer books usually written by Michael Crichton. 

I like to surf the internet sometimes, too, but I don't usually get that opportunity too often unless I'm working on something for school. One of my favorite sites as of right now is Myspace.com, which I know is totally lame, but I'm addicted to playing Mafia Wars and Mobsters. I also like Craigslist for all of it's practical uses as well as reading people's rants (which are much better when read on another city's Craigslist).

My favorite thing to do these days, though, is soaking up the experiences I share with my boyfriend and his son. I guess I'm getting old enough that hanging out with those two guys is way more fun than going clubbin', which used to be my all time favorite thing to do.
