Ty-pog-ra-phy

The art of type design, modefying type glyphs and arranging type.

I have found my calling.

So I sat down with my parents last night to talk about what I am going to do with the next few years of my life. Actually, I sat my parents down and told them what I am doing. It's has been a toss up between worship school and tech school. My mother says "Why can't you do both?"

She makes a very valid point.

I will be applying to a tech school (dunwoody, hennepin tech maybe...) for their graphic design program. I want to specialize in page layout and typography. I really considered the worship school thing again, but I feel like the only time I want to go to worship school is when I want to run away from this state—or things that have happened in this state—or people who live in this state—and that's not usually a good thing. So I will go to tech school. And I will take guitar lessons. I will learn music theory. I will be raised up as a worship leader in Minnesota. I won't be leaving anytime soon.

I'm okay with that.

ROCK OUT?

oh, and go look at this link and look at pages 8,9 and 15. Those maps got published today in print (they look better in print.) I made them. the RREAR is here, and it's a good one. (maybe not exciting for you but when you spend a 12 hour day making 3 really intense real estate related maps that are unlike anything the association you work for has done, well—it's kindof a big deal.)
