Interns= Awesome

Ok, so I guess its my turn to post. Wow, so as I was writing that last sentence I felt like the font was kind of large so I went to the tab to go change it. Instead of have font sizes in numbers, the sizes are done by smallest, small, Normal, Larger, Largest. This is the first time I have ever seen font sizes done like this, very weird. Did anybody else think that was weird (I'm obviously an art director since I noticed that and decided to write about it in my post). And I also just discovered that I am writing in the "normal" sized font, but since the sizes arent done in numbers I have no idea if "normal" is actually a regualr sized font. Ok I obviously care way too much about fonts, and actually theres a reason for that. In the fall im starting a MFA Graphic Design program at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I'm pretty much obsessed with San Francisco and when I went to visit the school in April I fell in love with it. I'd only been to San Francisco one time before for seriously like 2days, and ever since them i've alwasy wanted to go back. So now I get to go to school there for 2-3 years and I'm way pumped! It will probably be like going to college for real this time. I've lived in Austin my whole life, so going to UT wasnt really like moving away from home all that much, as I came to find out freshman year. Now I'll really be on my own, half way across the country and racking up over 50 G's in student loans. But design is awesome. Which reminds me, that I was making a point about fonts. I think my point was that typography is a huge part of graphic design so I'm practicing noticing these kinds of things (which is why I paid attention to the size of the font).

I think I better say something else about myself before I become known as the font girl
* I just turned 22 on may 24
* I also just graduated from UT with a BS in Advertising; I also survived the creative sequence
* I seem shy/mean (yes people have said this before) at first but thats really because Im not that talkative to people I dont know. So really if you just start talking to me Im actually quite friendly
*I've already had a bus experience where this crazy guy sitting next to me wouldnt stop telling me his life story. I even had my ipod in! Obviously he didnt know that having your ipod in is the universal sign for "dont talk to me, im pretending i cant hear you"
* I have a 16 year old sister who looks so much like me we could literally pass for twins
* I like to laugh alot, so if youre funny, were already BFF
* someone took my black sharpie from my desk :-(
There's alot more about me but I'm pretty sure this blog post is really long so I'll just save the otehr good stuff for later.
