Graphic Designer "Look."


I wanted to post this excerpt from an article in an issue from a Cosmopolitan magazine because I found it very interesting in what defines a "graphic designer" type like the author of this column wrote. My guess after reading this would be both of them having mac lap tops in front of them with, sipping lattes, and possessing sort of a boho/hipster look - but then again I am in the graphic design program and I don't like coffee and would describe my style as completely simple and plain.

Nike Ad


I love the font on this ad. I found this ad as I was reading the October issue of the magazine, Cosmopolitan. The font was the first thing that caughtmy eye and attracted me to the ad. After spending about 15 minutes on identifont and answering over 20 questions, identifont was unable to come up with a match and gave me thirty possible matches - none of which were the same. Since the company this ad is for is Nike, i'm assuming a designer createds this font solely for this ad. I feel that the texture of the ends are what really makes the font stick out.
