Type-assignment 1

'I want to DO ART too,' said little Chole, 2.5yrs old, with confidence.  While baby-sitting my neighbor's baby girl, I was trying to finish up the last touch of the assignment.  She came up to me, like the best artist in the world, and wanted to participate.  Carefully putting away my 48'x26', hard-to-find poster paper, I smiled at her, 'yes, let's do art.' 

Meanwhile, I adore her fearless confidence, and wonder 'where do we[adult] loose our confidence along the way?  why can't we just be so brave, and say "I can do the art" like those amazing artists out there?  or we just simply grow up and are afraid to fall again?!!'

Certainly, those in my class have the same confidence.  Some are career-changer; some are recently graduated and want to create their own portfolio, and some just want to become better.  They're the bravers, and not mentioning our teacher, Scott Moss, a kind and patient man to answer all our questions, no matter small or big, industrial or non-industrial....I can't wait to be brought to higher level along the journey.

we're going to focus on 5 typos, Garamond, Baskerville, Bondoni, Clarendon, Helvetica thru out the qtr.


I choose letter V, j, e, s, and f because they have the most interesting characteristic and formation accordingly.  Here I'm trying to bring the fun part of the letters, and still maintain the recognition of themselves.
