This semester was about exploration. Exploration of type, exploration of image and exploration of a system. In all three classes I had room to experiment. Through my type, and interestingly enough, image classes, I had a chance to get a good grip on my typography. My type became a graphic element on the page, rather than static text slapped onto an image. I had a chance to explore expressive type, with many different approaches that ultimately ended up as applications. It was the same in Visual Communications. The ending result was applications of an already developed experiment. However, the path to that conclusion was different. I took many steps, and many more little steps in those, that all built up to a comprehensive system. Through this process I have learned something about myself. Upon reflection of my work and critical feedback of my teachers and peers, I have figured out that a systematic, step-by-step approach is the best way I can work. This semester, I set goals for myself to employ clean, simple type, immediate imagery and powerful, grasping concepts. I believe I have achieved those goals.
