I realized that there is a lot of work in making different fonts but it shouldn't be as important in your life as other things. Some of the older type-face creators had gone too far into the layouts and kinds of texts so that they can never look at an advertisement again without focusing on the type of text that it is written in. They could never look at a commercial or physical ad for the true purpose of seeing the advertised product. I am not really passionate about different typefaces and would instead focus on the other elements and pictures in the ad. I think that it is cool that there are so many different kinds of fonts that were individually designed but I wouldn't base my entire life on it.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design to me is all forms of art/media in forms of images or logos or even artwork that was made through technology or similar styles. It could be the logo for a company or an art project or a t-shirt design. To me, just messing around in photoshop with different designs or creating a youtube homepage can be graphic design. For skype and related sites, I often make my own profile pics with photoshop or logos/cool designs. It is a form of commercial art and mixed media commonly used to express your style and show your signature through art or design.
