Favourite First Semester Assignment


The assignment I'm most proud of is my first assignment for my Typography class. The assignment was to create a bitmap font (only using squares with no stair casing to make any curved lines) and I created these crazy letters. This assignment was my favourite but it was also the one that I put the most time into and did the most revisions for. I can point out flaws in it as well such as some letters appearing heavier than others, but when I look at it I don't really mind.
We had to pick a quote to write with our letters and this one is from Albert Einstein. Not something I would say I relate to in every way, but I can understand the sentiment behind it, and also kind of a funny thing for him to say.
This project holds a funny place in my heart because I did the entire project painstakingly on the Paint program (embarrassingly) and it really was hell. Then I xacto-knifed it every letter out (including the holes inside each letter) and then glued them all on this big paper. I was so happy to be done the project that I guess in my exhilaration I arranged the alphabet below in a weird way, but it's how I was feeling at the time.
