I have come to realize that the little things matter in our communication. For example, the clothes we wear communicates information about ourselves without ever saying a word.
I think the same can be said for print. We need to be careful of the font that we use. Fonts must be uncommon and interesting for them to actually be an effective font — and when used properly fonts can make the world a better place. That’s why I am beginning the “Campaign for Better Font Usage.” The primary thrust of this campaign is to increase the usage of the Comic Sans font – which is now available on an Apple Computer. To help, immediately begin using the Comic Sans font on everything — except on your homework assignments.
Do you think a teacher or professor actually wants to read a 10 page report in “Times New Roman” or “Arial”? How boring. For research papers in college its best to use a script font – you know – one that’s in cursive. A cursive font will give your research paper that extra “bling” that would be sure to get you an A.
APRIL FOOLS!
It’s a joke?!?!
Dang it, now I have to retype that paper….
So that’s what I need to do to take my design contracts to the next level!
It’s all so clear now.
😀
I think someone has too much time on their hands!
I think that may have been the lamest April Fool’s joke ever. Seriously.
🙂
I think I’d have to agree with Abby!!! on that one. I mean, seriously dude. You can’t play with my emotions on a thing as serious as font types. That was a cruel, cruel joke.
i was like, ‘right on’ until i got to two of the worst words in the English language: Comic Sans.
Sorry Adam, That was lame
I am also commenting to let you know of the helpful encounter my friend’s daughter found reading through your web page. She figured out numerous issues, not to mention what it’s like to have an amazing giving mood to have most people really easily know selected impossible subject areas. You really exceeded our own expectations. Many thanks for imparting the invaluable, safe, explanatory and even easy thoughts on the topic to Janet.
