Semester Review

Before I came into graphic design I knew a lot about computers but nothing about photoshop and illustrator. We have learned things from work ethics to how to photoshop yourself into a picture. Next semester I hope to learn more and to improve with the things I learned this semester.

Review Week 17

I learned that the 2 main types of serifs are called Andante and Abrupt. In them are many different categories. I also learned the stone carvers started using serifs, and they are traced back to Rome.
