Kindle Fire Ad


Here is the new Kindle Fire ad. When I was watching TV & first saw this I immediately thought of our Typography class because this was also right around the time we were presenting for project one, History of Typography. In this video I thought they did an excellent job generally showing how type has evolved throughout the years into the technology we have today like the Kindle Fire, which you can read on. Font has always had the sam purpose which is to have someone read whatever you are scribing.   Present day there are so many ways to just write and it's so easy to get large amounts of people to read what you want them to. It is highlighting how important just typography, words and our language is so important. 

Walt Disney


I was trying to look for the Disneyland font typographic manual, but Matthias reminded me that it will probably not be on the internet and I'd most likely have to pay for it because Disney is the BEST COMPANY EVER! (: Anyway, I stumbled upon this video. I loved how every word that Walt Disney himself said was perfectly illustrated just in the font and the color that they used. Since we are working on project 3, I am thinking about the lable and the type of font they use. I love the Disneyland the font. It is so iconic, just like how I talked about in my first blog entry. I hope one day Disney font will be on my business card!
