Things heard said in the Flickr ‘Graphic Design’ group: #001

“So typography is basically the study of the design of letterforms. Basically its arranging and choosing font styles, choosing the colour of a font, it’s placement, emphasis, etc… its all so easy really, nothing big. It’s common sense. At school, they didn’t mention anything about typography in my Graphic Design course. All they talked about was art etc… so when it came to design, we just did whatever looked nice.”

I saw this on flickr as well. I always forget there’s a whole world of bedroom photoshop ‘graphic designers’ out there. Did you see the example that was posted along side this comment? Wow… just, wow.

Well the first sentence is right but the rest is pure baloney. And this is what happens when a school is full of these kinds of people and leave geninuely talented hopefuls out.
