This week we had two assignments about Typography. You can find both of them below.

Part 1. Define yourself by your choice in typography. Set your name in 6 different typefaces that you feel say something about you or the character of your name. Choose 3 serif and 3 non-serif faces. Create a set of 7 slides with a slide for each of your selections and one master slide at the end showing all the options. assignment3

For my assignment I chose The Museum of Modern Art’s (MOMA) website, a site I like very much and visit frequently.  My can take a look at my analysis by clicking on MOMA. Enjoy!
