LOL, could not agree more. Right font right scheme, is just the same as right plant ,right place. I have come to the conclusion that choosing a font is an art in itself. I spent hours thing about the presentation of a project and the font/layout ie composition.

I agree, Obama’s war in Yemen that he is escalating totally beyond presidential authority to do so, should be absolutely a red signal for any citizen…It is our tax dollars..There are almost  no politicians willing to stand up aganst the war – Russ Feingold, Al Franken, Bernie Saunders, just a few..
I feel the best I can do is support others to…[Read more]

So, how many firms do you think own their own buildings?
Most seem to rent space in a building……I rented space in a building for over 20 years and could have not altered the building….so………how would you make that work?

Yeah I guess, it does seem quite hypocritical to me that they only seem to be against war if it meets their political agenda…and the new guy starts a war w/out congressional approval, what? can’t be true…
I’m apolitical and against war no mater which Dood in in office….I frankly see no dif. in these guys…meet the new boss, same as the old…[Read more]

Well said everyone. My two cents worth:
No two clients are the same, and every project relationship is different.  It’s part of what makes this profession so interesting (the psychology of this is a topic all it’s own)  Thanks for the concept of  “facilitator”.  It is very apropos–especially with clients who have strong opinions!    At every…[Read more]

Bush was honest about who he was? You ARE kidding, arent’ you? Torture implemented, CIA officers outed for political gain, a war started with the ‘facts fixed around the policy” (Downing Street Memo), – I mean come ON john..and not to speak of his personal hypocracy – so  he’s living at his “Ranch in Crawford” now, right? Oh, he bought that “…[Read more]

You guys are ridiculous…

I think she is referring to the building in which the firm works espousing the same sustainable principals that the firm advocates…
I think firms are happy just making payroll right now instead of investing in building renovations.

Alan there was a sale on iPhones this weekend and they couldn’t be bothered, and the new Call of Duty game has changed the way kids perceive war.
I think people on the left whom protest war are complacent now that their guy is in office, which is ridiculous.  I think he is a bigger letdown than W, whom at least was honest about who he was.

the dichotomy continues 

gimme a break, miss smith.

this is conceptually confusing. just because i just graduated does not mean i dont know anything about fonts.  also just because someone might be a principle at some firm does not make them the know all end all. I am NOT the only only one who feels this way about papyrus. but i do like the idea of being some sort of academic about font usage…[Read more]

What does that mean?

Oops…This^^^ is mine.

Here we go again…
 

I didn’ understand your comment…..I tried but just couldn’t get it. Please elaborate…..

sometimes you can reinvent the wheel and sometimes you can’t….experience will tell you when each is or is not appropriate.
It was real important to me that I establish myself as a good designer in my younger days and it served me well in that 99% of my work now  is referral…in the early days of my career I was able to win several ASLA awards,…[Read more]

My first job after I got my bachelors degree was with a design/build firm in Reno, actually. Then I worked for a design firm in Boise for a little while before I went back to college.

apparently its not that funny

Well for the most case, its appears that most others on here are just as ignorant as me, just against what i think.   Well im not looking to own my own shop. just make people aware that it is possible to change the font, and that contrary to “popular” belief papyrus is not a good font.
