Review

Overall I think the blog was successful in getting an understanding of the other people in the class and where they get inspiration for their own artwork. I can't say that I kept up to date with all the posts but I feel that after the first couple weeks the posts slowed down and the conversation was an engaged as it was in the beginning. My favorite post on the blog was Newt's expressive type example.

Batman

As for expressive type, I generally focus more on the literal matter rather than form and what not. Here, Sohjunhao has created Batman with text. However, instead of using just pretty letters that create good use of form and counterform, he has chosen to use the passage that Batman spoke near the end of the movie, the Dark Knight. While I don't believe this is the best of works, I can say that it is different. This would obviously be seen as better or more fitting if it was on a dark rainy background, and Batman had intense shading, but in this image it seems as if it's simple writing on a piece of paper. It's not fitting, but I think it's pretty cool...
