The Plain, Timid Rookie of Typography

Hello! My name is Amanda and Iā€™m a Communication Design Major here at CityĀ Tech. I transferred here back in Fall 2015 after obtaining an associateā€™s degree at Kingsborough. I have been doing art since high school when we mainly worked with a variety of traditional mediums from charcoal to oil paint.

It wasnā€™t until college when I started to learn how to work digitally. While I have experience with InDesign, I havenā€™t really worked with it in a while so Iā€™m a little rusty. Typography is a sub-topic of graphic design I find myself struggling with. I hope by taking this class I can better understand how it works and how to use it in an effective manner.

When Iā€™m not at school or at work, Iā€™m on the computer going through social media, playing video games or improving my drawing skills.
