Troglodyte's, Topography and Typography

Well that cleared things up.... For almost an entire week I was confused by how topography was involved with Creative Design.  As the trip to Luckett's Vineyard came closer I realized that Paul had been referring to the grape growing conditions and making some allegory connecting growth and sunlight, increasing the topography obviously meant increasing a student's exposure to creativity.   I wondered if everyone in the class had to think as hard as I to fully understand the discussion.

It really wasn't until the lecture on fonts and the history, meaning and development of fonts that I realized that I may have been a little confused, TYPOGRAPHY is the study of letters....who knew and was there really a study of this, apparently it is a big deal advertising. Was my dependency on Times New Roman a copyright infringement?  Possibly because I am pretty sure Paul said that corporations have copyright protection for specific fonts.

My ignorance came full circle, not only did I decide that a beautiful backdrop confuse the troglodyte theme, I decided that an academic font was a nice contrast to my line sketches.. who new!

Not ready to fully evolve though, this was all "Normal".
