Mostly video links. Guess what we're doing tomorrow!

2. Today
1) Icebreaker
2) Some videos on typography
3) So where do we find cool stuff?
4) Some work time
5) Homework

3. Icebreaker
1) Name
2) What’s your favorite font?

6. Video a go-go
The following few slides contain some videos
about typography then transition into something
called “Kinetic” typography (or type that moves).
Let’s see how badly alt-tabbing kills today’s
PPT. :)

15. How to get nifty fonts
You might notice that most computers– even the
ones here in the super-slick design-minded labs–
don’t have a huge selection of fonts.
This can put you at a disadvantage as a creator.
But not to worry. Fonts are out there.
Let me show you a few cool places to visit.

20. And, of course, there’s always Google
One of the things you will hear me say from now until
the end of semester is “Don’t forget about Google.”
Obviously you can’t just type in www.google.com and
expect everything to fall into place, but if you are savvy
about how you search, both resources you need and
tutorial information you crave is right out there in
cyberspace to be plucked up and used.
Don’t hesitate to do that. Collective knowledge is useful.

21. Let’s play a little
With our remaining time in class, open Photoshop and
play around a bit. I know we came to the class with
different levels of experience, so as you have questions
about Photoshop, ask me or ask your classmates.
Let’s see if we can’t get off to a start here.

22. Remember
Your focal topic proposals are due tomorrow.
I will be responding to those on Saturday (and Sunday, if
Saturday happens to get busy on me). On Tuesday, we
will begin our research blogs based on our topics (and
I’ll go over the research blog expectations).

23. Also for Tuesday:
Read for class: Chapters 1-5 on Contrast,
Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity (aka the
CRAP principles) in Robin Williams’ The Non-
Designer’s Design Book

Remember your Rhetorical Analysis 2 is due on
Tuesday as well.
