pro+gress

My portfolio is done all but being proofread a third time. I am going to make sure this one is nearly perfect. Once I get a new job I am buying some new typefaces that my computer lacks such as Helvetica and Futura in various weights. I'm ready for Linotype to finish their Windows version of the FontXplorer or I can just save up and get a Mac that would be ideal but money is a very big deal of course.

HVO denied my unemployment, which is completely bogus. I am now frantic to find a new job and knowing that I will not be compensated for my off time makes me sick to my stomach. I have a promises meeting with an employer on Tuesday. They have my resume and I will be getting them my portfolio once it’s done, as you all know it is still under construction. Wish me luck!

Gill Sans seems to be everywhere. I'm not sure why its not the greatest typeface ever. I am actually not a fan of any humanist. If I want stroke contrast then I'll just use a serif typeface. Go grotesque its chic!
