The Curving Problem and the Promotion of Heller

After being away from last Monday's classes due to Labor Day, we go back to the somewhat frustrating class that is Typography and the slow, excruciating torture that is Research. Typography class was almost the same to my prediction, except that we get to do lower case letters instead of the usual uppercase letters and use the same French curves and the same artliner pen (the 0.2 to 0.5 ones). The lecturer from the class figured a way to get over my problem of "jagged" curves by using a klatch pen (it looks like an ordinary mechanical pen to me) which I got for free because it was just lying around, with no one claiming it to be theirs whatsoever and also by using an "overlapping" technique which is quite useful :P In the Research class, we have to endure torture and boredom in the form of another presentation, this time to do with Art Nouveau. The problem with all the examples were that they were all similar types of posters, which is very dreary to look at after a while; I'd prefer something that changes overtime than something that doesn't change at all and looks the same. I noticed that the lecturer for this class kept going on about the books done by a guy with the last name of Heller because they're the good books to get for another research project that supposedly started last Monday but didn't due to Labor Day getting in the way. He even told us the prices for these books which is in the $100 dollar range or a bit above, which is insane. He says it has to do with the quality of the paper, because its of high quality stock and very well done photos. We had to endure sixty of the same type of artwork! *snores* *falls asleep*
