Leads
Back to School Night

The class was only an hour long so we watched a couple of funny typography videos on the internet.

Then I went over leads and had them pick out five great leads from quality yearbooks.

Back to School Night
Had a great crowd. A good number of new parents. One was a student at Mira Loma when I was there and was a yearbbok editor there under Joyce Hayward. (Nagle) Another was actually on the cover of the 1981 Decamhian, the one that looks like People magazine.

Our main font is chosen and in hand.
I also worked it out with My Fonts to allow us to buy the fonts even though we had apparently not paid last year's bill. Our main font of the year will be Univers designed once again by Adrian Frutiger.
