Reading & Reflection No.8
The appendix basically contains a variety of fun facts pertaining to typography. One new thing that I learned was the em and en dash meaning. If I understood correctly, the size of the space is actually measured by those characters (mindblowing).
Later on in the reading, I resonated with a point about designers taking on many different roles. Many of which, are not typically associated with design. Such as editing (body copy or overall layout), proofreading etc., especially in an official capacity. Meaning you are the author of the change. Once a project has been completed, there are always circumstances that arise when it comes to printing. These errors can be costly, and from experience I know that it can be hard to catch these problems until later inspection. That is why it is important to print often while working, many times things may look better or worse than they do on screen.
“May your thoughts be deep and your wounds be shallow.”
Project 4 Reflection:
I really enjoyed he first part of this project, but the rest was a struggle for me. Several times I lost interest or motivation to continue to reiterate the design. I was trying (a little too hard) to make my layout different from every one else's. I avoided looking for inspiration in other places also. This may have shot me in the foot, because my final design felt rushed and a little plain. The elements that I really liked were the color palette and the letter texture that I created, and even though it didn't make it into the final. I may used it elsewhere. The whole purpose was to used the letter I created in a different way. By orienting it straight up and down, while changing the tint (not opacity).
Research for Project 5: Rebranding
I went with the Wichita State Shockers (Wichita, Kansas). My actual first impression before doing any research was that he (WuShock) looked like a chewed cigar, and that he was very yellow. However, he is a bundle of wheat…
During the time the school was named (or renamed) many students earned tuition by harvesting or “shocking” wheat. (I've heard/used the term shucking corn but never shocking) The word “shocker” means a person who harvests wheat (the verb “shocked” is used with the same meaning as “harvest”).
The university used a plain stalk of wheat as their symbol until around 1948. “Wushock” was named and picked that year in a contest. There have been many, many iterations of the mascot and logo since then.
