Semester Reflection

This semester I learned how to use photoshop and adobe illustrator. I learned how to create pictures out of words. I discovered the different types of fonts. I learned what a pixel is and what they are used for. I learned how to create a picture out of other pictures. Also how to manipulate the colors of the picture. I discovered the difference between CMYK and RBG. I learned how to make textures on the computer. I learned about the color wheel and primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Next semester I wish to continue doing what I am because I feel that I am doing well, I wish only to improve.

Go to www.ilovetypography.com. Under "Popular Articles", click on "Who Shot the Serif?" Read the article. At the end of the article, the author asks a question. Answer that question in this post and discuss your findings.

Have you learned something? I learned that the word “serif" comes from the Dutch schreef which means “wrote”. also that in Chinese the term, translated literally into English, comes out as “forms with with legs”. so serifs to them are letters with legs.
