Here are all of the projects I did during my DMA 384 Typography course that I took in the Fall of 2021.
Reflection What did you learn? I learned how to use InDesign because my experience with InDesign before this project was very little.

The reason I’m referring to a shack is […]
The first typography I found was the one used for the word “donettes” on this packaging. It not only stood out to me because of the way it’s spelled but the choice of font and use of all lowercase letters. I like the choice of font because the roundness of each letter reminds me of […]
