What interest me about design is taking multiple things that might not go together and then making them into one coearent piece. That is why I love Photoshop and Illustrator because I take photos of many different things and then make them into one piece that feels like it belongs together. That is what I did with my first Photoshop project. I like making design that speak to not only me but to other people who maybe looking at it a different why and getting a different message than I intend the first time I do a design.

My font research 2d design

"The Designer of Arial is Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders of Monotype Typography and was created in 1982. Arial is a sans-serif typeface and is included in computer fonts. It is included in Microsoft Windows and other Microsoft application and also included in Apple Mac OS X and many PostScript 3 computer printers. There are many styles of the Arial font including Italic, Medium Italic, Bold and Bold Italic and many others. The Arial design contains more humanist characteristics than many of the predecessors and is in tone more with the late 20th century. The treatment of the curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial sans serif faces. The terminal strokes are cut diagonal which helps to give the font a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines and for display use in newspapers advertising and promotions. "Arial was drawn more rounded than Helvetica the curves softer and fuller and the counters more open. The ends of the strokes on the letters such as c,g, and s rather than being cut off on the horizontal are terminated at the more natural angle in relation to the stroke direction." as said by a columnist. IBM renamed the Arial typeface Sonoran Sans Serif to licensing restrictions and was made in 1984.  In 1992 Microsoft chose Arial as one of the four core TrueType fonts for Windows 3.1 as an alternative to Helvetica. Arial is held in disregard by many professional typographers and type enthusiasts for reasons relating to its similarity to other typefaces and the involvement of Microsoft in its development and distribution" (wikipedia.org).

The designer of Arial Robin Nicholas joined the Monotype Type Drawing Office in 1965

"After training at Monotype he began to work on the metal fonts used for design-proofing. He went on to manage the Type Drawing Office for ten years before taking up his current position as Monotype's Head of Typography in the United Kingdom. He designed the Nimrod family a suite of typefaces for newspaper text, headlines and small ads. In 1982 he created a sans serif typeface for low-resolution laser printers that was further developed with Patricia Saunders into the Arial typeface family"(fonts.com).
