Use Helvetica...

There are many typefaces (fonts) out there. Most of them suck, and render themselves useless. This might not be a great concern to most people, but as a designer I feel obligated to make a statement when I feel "convicted" about things. So here it is...

For my thesis paper (known as a capstone project) I will be researching and outlining the misuse of type in the world of design. I am sure that typography is the most important element of graphic design, and therefore could be argued to be one of the most important visual elements in our social and business climates. Man, that's whaaack. Ok. So, when I have completed this 10-page masterpiece (using non other than 12pt double spaced copy in MS Office) I will be sure to post it here. Along with the paper, I will include a related composition, in which is already in the works. It will be a legal sized comp, but I will probably have much larger prints. Nice eh? Hells yeah.
