I've recently been asked to teach a few classes in Graphic Design (don't ask questions; its just easier to nod and smile in my field), and I came across some work that many of you up-coming and aspiring Graphic Designers/Typographers might find interesting.

-Periodic Table of Type
(Another interesting take on the traditional study of type)

Good stuff. We had one rule in design class. It was whoever used Comic Sans would be instantly failed, unless it was used in the context where it fits, that being comics. It made life better for everyone. I swear whenever I see it used I rage a little on the inside sad.gif
