So...this weekend I am attending my first ever comicon! I am very excited and happy that a friend of mine had an extra VIP pass. God bless him. Anywhosers, in honor of my inner geek finally getting some satisfaction, and also since the homework had to do with type manipulation, I thought it appropriate to bring up the type effect that everyone knows and recognizes: the title text for Superman. It is a simple 3D effect with a dash of perspective added, but it has become one of the most well known and iconic type images in the world. The logo has appeared in every country on almost every product. I have yet to see Superman brand tampons, laxatives, or beer. If you find any of these let me know. Anyway, I just wanted to bring this forward as a kind of point. These days, the trend is "Bigger = Better." Bigger effects, bigger color, bigger everything. Sometimes, however, the simplest and most basic of artistic styles are the ones that live and thrive the longest. Now, if you shall pardon me, I need to pack. Let's see...lightsaber...batarangs...socks...
