I think my typography lecturer is just amazing. The amount of drive and influence he has on the topic is really infectious. Plus, he is really good at what he does! It was a real pleasure hearing him share his knowledge on typography. About the weights, textures, tonal values, accenders, decenders, counters, subtle differences... the topics were just boundless. One can really see that he is at the zenith of his field by the passion he displays while talking about type.
"Type is just like clothes. You have to select them. What suits you might not suit someone else. It is an intricate design. It is woven finely, like a shirt. And it should be smooth and pleasing to the eye."
Gosh I can't wait to get more out of him.
Anyway, caught Avenue Q today!!! Omg was it a blast! The show had me in stitches the entire time! I'm really glad I caught it here since I missed the one in Singapore. The cast, albeit not the original broadway one, were terrific. And they added an Aussie flavour by deviating a little from the script so that we can relate. Like there was a scene where the entire cast poured out into the audience to collect "donations" and when they got back on stage to examine the loot, one of them found a 2 hour metcard that had only 5 minutes left. Definitely recommended!
Oh and Trekkie was awesome. And you know the ad for Avenue Q that said "live puppet sex"?
Yup.
It's true.
