Reading Response -"This Typeface will Change Your...
I think it’s interesting that a typeface like Helvetica has so much control over how we perceive the things that it represents. By plastering a garbage truck with the words “sanitation” in Helvetica can make us trust the company more and assume their practices are higher quality, more reliable. I can agree to some degree with Mr. Wines when he says that this can be leading us...

Although my drawing skills are far from preofessional, I find that the more I practice, the more confident I become in my strokes, and thus the end result turns out better. The...
