A foundation course in typography

Day: August 31, 2016

Carmen Tan

My name is Carmen. I was born in New York. I majored in Illustration in High School. I was debating on what to major in for a while and decided to try Graphic. I am an indecisive and quiet person but once I’m comfortable with you, I would talk more. I tend to be lazy at times when I shouldn’t be. I like to hang out with my friends or family during my free time. I also like to travel and take pictures. I’m looking forward to learning more about Graphic Design, I would like thank Nicole for creating my nametag.

A little about Tramain

My name is Tramain and I’m a new communication design student. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  Despite being a millennial, I like to keep things old school. My hobbies include skateboarding, playing the guitar, and video games(usually at the same time). The name tag in the header(thanks Heather!) represents part of my interests, with the bytes in the first two letters displaying my love for technology and the trumpet in the M relating to my interest in jazz.

Although this is my first semester in communication design, I previously was in computer information systems earning my bachelor’s degree until the career opportunities found within this degree caught my eye. I know for many a change like that seems completely left field and different, but I found using my creative side instead of my technical one is more fun and exciting. Learning about typography is important to the foundations of design, and I hope that this class will help me to design innovative creations.

Hello.

My name is Heather,  I love design, drawing, travelling  and carpentry. Anytime there is a paper in front of me it will be filled up with nonsensical scribbles/doodles. I have always loved design   but it always seemed like something  that was too big of a gamble to try and make a career out of so I pursued  other  career paths instead,  I wouldn’t trade those experiences but I am always drawn back to art/design be it graphic, architecture,  or industrial.

My name tag was made by Tramain. We spent a little too long in the interview/brainstorming phase. Our time management will have to be better next time.
