You’ll notice with a little sleuthing that I haven’t posted any work from my Type 2 class this semester. Perhaps it’s having Type 1 with Ellen Lupton, or perhaps it’s the remedial curriculum, but something has made the class a chore for me, and I do not like any of the assignments or work I am doing for them. Nevertheless, I figured I would post our most recent project. The content is a fictitious event and bad joke (perhaps you’re beginning to see why the class is not my favorite) with some famous designers, most of whom my instructor misspelled. The above solution will be my final, below are some other ideas.

Wow, you have such a way with type! One day I hope to have such control over my lettering.
Nice work ^,^

This final is also still on the counter in front of Brockett’s office. You might want to pick that up before it gets trashed or taken for decoration in someone’s apartment. And I agree with you that Type 2 was remedial in comparison to that which Ellen provided us in Type 1. But your argument starts to lack steam when you showcase work where you lack typographic control, like Punk Kids, where your type is seriously flawed. Yes, it was a super boring semester, but if anything, you could have walked away with the tools to create perfect type. I did, but then again, I didn’t have Dan. Thank god.
