I have always found myself drawn to the art of stylistic and unique printing. I was the student who took neatly organized and colour coded notes all throughout high school and university. Along the way, I have been intrigued by the different font types and styles that can really personalize and convey emotion in print work. Now, thanks to this free inquiry project, is my chance to develop the skill for myself.

I know I am not the only student in our program who is utilizing this project as means to develop a skill or hobby that they have always wanted to try. In September 2018 I purchased and iPad and an Apple Pencil, since this time I have played around a bit and explored some elements of graphic design.

My biggest project to date has been designing a mathematics graphic/logo.  The mathematics department at Simon Fraser University to used this as a T-shirt design since the SFU bookstore didn’t carry any math related merchandise.

Given my affinity to typography, I chose to use my math notes from my undergraduate degree as my inspiration for the logo. My homepage showcases the math equations in a higher quality format, but it is easy to see that this project took me a very long time. This was designed using my personal mathematics typeface, and the goal of my inquiry project is to gain appreciation for and to increase fluency of other fonts.

We all develop a natural font with our own handwriting over time. I intend to explore and practice different fonts and typefaces throughout this project in the remainder of this semester. This page will document my success and my struggles, but mostly will be a space that I can showcase my work.
