Questions from Wednesday Night Screening

1. How can an artist / designer's choice of type influence the concept?
      The artists or designers choice for a type face can be fairly difficult. There are thousands of type to choose from, and the difficult task is to find the type that speaks well with the actual words and whatever else the type is interacting with. Or the type can influence because the type doesn't exactly match the other elements in the piece, influencing the concept in that way.

2. What are some of the differences between art and design? Or between the way artist's and designers talk?
      The main difference that I've noticed is the way artists and designers explain their work. I think that designers are more intentional about every little thing that they do, and have a more set vocabulary when explaining. Artists also have a good vocabulary, but they're work is more about an idea or concept, not necessarily thinking about design principles all the time.
