    I learned that there are different kinds of slab seriff type faces and hard to tell apart.
    I also learned that having two professors teaching one class is the coolest thing ever.
    I learned that being a graphic designer/lead designer is perhaps the best career ever, because we take the use our skill of combining text w/ pictures and create the next big thing.

  5. I learned how much fun graphic designers will have more fun than most people with other careers.

    Also, I learned that it was a bit hard to figure slab seriff and seriff words.

    1) using a penny and only a penny is kinda hard to design with...it had me thinking for a while before I started to trace the penny.
    2) Talon Marks has a lot of rivers, widows and orphans.
    3) it is hard to tell the difference between a word in large type size and slab serif.
