I have recently been rewatching the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies again, which has been long overdue. As I was watching The Fellowship of the Ring (the first installment of Lord of the Rings), I remembered that I actually wrote a college essay prompt for UNC about one of the main characters, Samwise Gamgee. Every time I watch the movies, I am reminded why they are my second favorite set of movies ever. (Star Wars is first, of course.) I am also reminded how I somehow figured out a way to incorporate “LOTR” into my college application.

My previous blog was all about typography, but now, it’s time for my absolute favorite design element: color! Color is what initially got me into art, design, crafts, and pretty much anything visual. Ever since I can remember, I have been in love with color, and it seems that color plays a part in many parts of my life, whether it be organizational, personal, or consumer-related decisions.

This week in blogging will be a design-oriented week. We’re talkin’ fonts and color! Today’s blog is all about the art of typography! Typography is one of my favorite design elements, and I’ll be diving into my favorite typefaces, fonts, and my personal “typography’s most-wanted” list.
