MARASIGAN garamond

My name is Victorio Marasigan. I am a double major, in comm des and photography (DPI). I believe in Jesus. I write music. I'm half filipino.

I chose Garamond because it's a clean font and it's pretty diverse.

OLESEN, Arial

Hi, my name is Sarah Olesen. My major is Communication Design. I am not really sure what I want to do with it yet, but hopefully I will figure it out. I am from Pasadena, TX. I like to scrapbook, run, and take photos. I also have a dog named Sadie.

I chose the font Arial because it is simple, bold, and easy to read. I am a very organized person so I like how it looks really in order.

King, Arial

Hi! My name is Sarah Banning King. I was a painting major and now I'm a Com Des major. Yay! I chose this font because I use it all the time when working on the computer. It's easy to read. I use it on my art blog that I might let you see....

Embrey Futura

My name is Autumnn and I love everything about ComDes. At first, my chosen major was in mathematics. Now its something I hate.. to much memorization! My heart has always been in art so I am glad I found a profession I can incorporate it in. I chose Futura because its a nice basic type face without being to boring. I also like that it is a little more bolder then others.

FELDER Avenir

I’m Kim Felder. My major is Journalism, but my minor is Communication Design (and that’s the industry I plan to go into). Ideally, I would like to work in the production department of a magazine; last summer I interned in the production department of Texas Monthly which greatly influenced my perspective on publication design. My background is mostly in print publication and web design using InDesign and Dreamweaver. Before transferring to Texas State I attended the University of Texas at Dallas.

I’m usually Avenir, sometimes Gotham. Clean sans serif. It provides an open, uncluttered page in both print and web design.

Morris - Bodoni

I am a ComDes major. I lived in Minnesota all of my life up until 2007. I love drawing. I was a professional belly dancer for 2 years, then ended up working as an admin. assistant for 9 years. Then did design and advertising for a catholic church for 3 years...it's been a strange life...can't wait to be done with school and use my creativity for a living!

Chose Bodoni cause it's attractive, basic and clean. I like a lot of fonts though, no fav's

MARCUM Baskerville

Hi, my name is Amberlea and my favorite font is Baskerville because it's clean and simple and has small serif details.

The reason I ended up in the Com Des program is actually because of my love of writing. I was involved in my high school's newspaper class and began really enjoying page layout design, and my love for design just grew from there.

I guess something interesting about me would be that I collect hands (well, representations of hands). Any material: glass, wood, etc. If I happen to find a hand at a garage sale or flea market, it's mine!

Boothby, Chalkboard

Hi! my name is Laura Boothby and I'm a comdes major. I choose Chalkboard because it looks like Comic Sans, but you said we couldn't use that one so I had to settle for chalkboard! I think Chalkboard is my favorite just because it is fun and bubbly like my personality.

Something interesting about myself is that I'm a big Colorado fan-Denver broncos, CO Rockies, and CO Rapids(I was born there so i have to represent)!

Brown(Jen) Gill Sans

Um... Hi. My name is technically Jennifer, but I go by Jen (with one N). I'm a junior here at Texas State and I previously have a degree in Photographic Technology with a consintration in Fashion and Advertising, so the idea of not opening Photoshop or using images in this class makes me a little uneasy.
I'm from the state of Maine and have lived in Austin for 6 years. I commute from South Lamar if anyone ever wants to carpool:)
I have a few other online endeavors including www.jenbrownimaging.smugmug.com and www.jenbrownimaging.blogspot.com.
Maggie is my dog and I will probably talk about her a lot. I look forward to hanging with ya'll this semester.
OH... FONT... I like gill sans because it's simple and I often dig using fancy/trendy scripts for big one-liners and filling in information with simple fonts... K.there.done.
(p.s. If there is a typo, I'm a bad speller)

Lee - Agency

My name is Markel Lee. I'm a Com Des major. I've been working on graphics since 2004. Currently I've acquired a position on campus as a designer for Off Campus Student Services and also freelance on the side. I'm from Dallas, TX born and raised. Started college at Prairie View A&M in the Architecture field. I wanted to become an Art major, so I transfered here to Texas State. Looking to learn more about Illustrator and InDesign will here in your class.

I choose Agency because I too have a thing for order and balance similar to architecture. I like the professionalism of the font and the structure. I'm well rounded when it comes to fonts but Agency is my primary font face.

Hartfield, News Gothic MT

My name is Amanda Hartfield and I am a Com Des/Photography double major. Basically that just means I couldn't decide what I wanted to do. I have Art A.D.D and it's kinda bad. I took Color Theory last semester and now I want to be a Painting major. I still don't know what I want to do. I was a International Relations major and it was fun for a second. I changed my major and I started out wanting to design but now I'm feeling photography more. It's a daily change.

I chose this font because I find it neat, clean and square. Usually something being square is a bad thing. In this case it is a good thing, for me at least.

NEWTON Trade Gothic

This is an example of how your post should be...

Hey. My name is Prof. Newton (You can call me Rose if you would like). This is my third year teaching at Texas State. I have been a graphic design professor for ten years now at several institutions (University of Houston, Savannah College of Art and Design, and The Art Institute of Houston). Prior to my teaching career I practiced graphic design for seven years in the oil and gas industry in Houston. My first graphic design job was with the Enron Corporation.

If you are interested in seeing some of my work and what I'm currently up to check out. www.rosenewton.com

I chose Trade Gothic because it's a good, reliable san serif font. Honestly, my favorite typeface depends on my mood. It'll be different every time.
