FIGHTING WITH YOUR COMPUTER

I know some people had to fight with Adobe Flash or AfterEffects last semester, so I'm posting this.



Apparently it took the guy 3 months to animate.

typography

As I mentioned in the previous post, I've been thinking about specializing within graphic design, and one of my options is type design. Which is where this QB logo came from.




Obviously this type isn't my own invention, that would mean I learned some pretty bad ass type design skills really fast. Instead it's based on type I found in a design book and I have no idea what the font is. I dig the flourishes.

Anyone who can tell me the name of that typeface (or one like it) gets a cookie.

Choices

I've been thinking alot recently about how graphic designers generally specialize in one area or another of design, such as corporate identity, animation, art direction, type design, photography, illustration, technical illustration, packaging, collateral etc. Mostly I've been wondering whether it's important to choose one or more specialties while in school, at least so that you can focus your education where you want it. If so, I'm torn between type design (though we haven't done that in any detail yet), and video/animation (the after effects project whet my appetite). If anyone else is reading my blog, post a comment saying what you'd pick at this point if you had to choose.

FLASH... AA-AAAHHH... SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE

FLASH... AA-AAAHHH... HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!



This is what Jeff assigned me for his class
