God I love type, font and graphic design essentials in general. It sounds a bit cheeky, but Sarah’s focus on typography could give the impression that graphic design is all about type. I guess it kinda is, but there are so many other aspects to it. Old School…black and white, composition…FUN Playing with the blocks …

Making lists of your insecurities is a public event…of sorts. I had no idea we would be swapping groups and reading other peoples drivers and fears. It was surprisingly reassuring …they had the same fears as me! Phew. Grouping things on a flat surface was a challenge, but the bigger challenge was who fills what …
A Physical Pepeha
The more you look into yourself and your history, the more complicated the ideas of a physical representation become.

DAY ONE To be honest, it’s felt a little messy. The class size is large, and feels like a stifling learning environment. The heat is high, and it seemed like little structure. The welcome covered some aspects that are good – like who everyone is, and a soft framework for the course, however, basic stuff, …
