Do we need to stage an intervention? Because we can.
Additionally, please read this post of mine from last year. It links to several things about font and, of course, about Comic Sans. There's a game, some cartoons--good stuff. Enjoy!
And in case you'd like to enrich yourself with some font-study, go here:http://typography-daily.com/2012/03/20/frustro-the-impossible-typeface/
And lest you think font and typography are still superfluous things that we only discussed today because I wanted "something light" to kick off the new term, read this:http://www.themaninblue.com/articles/handwritten_typographers/ This stuff is real, people.

ReplyDeleteMy roommate was doing research for a project, got to a page that was entirely in Comic Sans, and was like "Well, that site has no credibility" and moved on.

I actually told her about that game and she thought it was hilarious.
YES! I'm glad that the game continues.
ReplyDeleteComic Sans was my favorite font when I was in like 3rd grade...how embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, after this unit in AP Comp I cringe whenever I see it being used on anything. Even in situations where the audience is younger than 11...it should just be eliminated for good.
