Graphic Arts is Important

I have to make six different signs for the park in FFD.

It’s taken me more than two weeks and counting.

This is because Graphic Arts is a language of languages. When you walk into an art gallery you expect the stuff on the wall to speak to you a certain way. When you look at a corporate Wellness Program publication, you expect a much different (and condescending) “tone of voice” in the visual medium.

That’s the language I’ve had to learn for this (Thank God for PureRef!) and since I have to feel my way through it (lack of training) it’s been a process of “It sill doesn’t look right, it still doesn’t look right, it still doesn’t look right…”

Well now it’s lookin’ aight.

Can’t share any examples becuase when taken out of context they don’t really make any sense. I’ll be adding them to the game soon. Be sure to find all six – it’s an achievement (when I code that in, that is 🙂

Discovered Arooj Aftab during the process, good Jazz – check it out.
