Course Overview - Jaye Valery

I found this subject to be really interesting in terms of learning more about the current typographic trends and the current climate of publication design. The online lectures and discussions aided this, even though online activities are not my favourite thing in the world!!!

I had only done a little bit of letterpress in second year graphics, and I was a bit worried at first about producing an entire book of letterpress but I loved the idea of playing with an article heading to convey a sense of emotion only through the formation of text. I have defiantly improved my letterpress skills from undertaking this course. The excursion to the Distillery was a highlight for me and inspired my letterpress book.

I am always hesitant about group work but I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to see the final Zine.

My only concern was the writing of the briefs. I found them to be quite vague in their descriptions and desired outcomes. This could be improved on for next semester.

Thanks to lauren also!!!
