Semester Reflection

I have learned so much this semester. I've learned how to use Photoshop and illustrator including a lot of things inside of them. I've learned how to manipulate images to make them more "enhanced and different". In illustrator, i learned how to use the pen tool, lasso tool, magic wand tool and many more. In Photoshop, I learned how to use the history tool, layer/masks, and so much more. I've also learned about a couple graphic designers such as Andy Warhol. Next semester, I would like to have more interactions with the class as a whole. I'd like to learn more on Photoshop about how to further manipulate a photo.

Review Week 17

Who shot the serif?:

Have you learned something?

Yes, I learned that there several kinds of serif. However there are two main types. Those are Adnate and Abrupt. The Adnate serif is more organic. The Abrupt Serif is more square and more rigid , and doesn't flow into the base bottom letterform; the slab serif is a good example of an abrupt. Its not rude; its just square.

This one represents Serif because it is bolded but it is a really common ad font.




Ornamental because it is using it not for body text but for a bigger and more taller font size.
