QU"O"TES

The funny side of TyPoGrApHy :D

So here's what happened. In one of our Graphic Design class assignments we had to design compositions using typefaces or letter forms. After some serious work (:P)..lets just say after a few compositions, I decided to make a character. So this little happy guy is made up of 4 letters:

g: to make the face..the loop is cropped off

m: for the eyes

i: the dot below

o: inside the smile

I take my 4 so called 'serious' compositions and this to class next day. Well guess wat!?.. Jenny (my teacher) chooses this composition to talk about. I tell her I tried a happy face with a few letters. I get compliments for choosing the corner, leaving out the negative space.. blah blah..

She points at the o and asks "What is This?"

O..MY..GOD!! like really!? wasn't it obvious!? I mean DUH! its a tOOth!! My class had a good laugh.. lets just say a lot of toothy smiles in the room :D

While printing this out, the guyz at Staples were smiling. One of them asked me whether I was a dentist.

it could also be a tongue you know :P
