Trollback

Thanks to slow internet due to the weather, I was unable to load the Trollback video. That won't stop me though! I researched him a little and his work is awesome. This is a video I will definitely watch on the bus sometime. His work seems very large scale. I love how he uses lines and type with a hint of the logo. So many times today all you see is a logo slammed on something and it's supposed to be done. We seem to get lazier. My three year old can't read, but he knows the McDonald's M. He also know the D for Disney and the letters in Cartoon Network's logo. He can't recognize his own name, but he sees these logos and knows what's going on. I believe that type is a little more important than the design itself. There are very few companies that are known by their logo with no type in it. It's challenging to find the type that fits a company perfectly, but its important. After creeping through the interwebs to find more typographers, I came across this article:

I feel like article's like this help new designers by starting our search for further knowledge. It's important that you continue to look and research outside of class.
In conclusion, typography is super important and we should continue looking for it outside of the class room.
