This is Jessica Hische. She is awesome. Her presentation was supremely interesting as she touched on being a student, her transistion into the workfield from art school, and her transistion from the dream job to working for herself. As I am quite uneducated when it comes to type, font, and lettering in general, this was a huge eyeopener for me because it made me trully realize that there are tons of people in this world with some really particular obsessions, like letters for example. As you can see in the photograph, she has the word "Type" tattoed on her muscle, which means it is her strength. ANYWAY, she discussed her success and attributed it to having a general path, but not a "dead set never vear off the path" path. One thing I was confused about was the difference between type, font, and lettering. And judging by the tattoo I'm going to assume that her main thing is Type. Most of her presentation was about being in the type/font/lettering field and what one needs to be leery of, ways in which one can organize their habits as professional and so on. Overall her talk was very interesting and I have realized just how specific artistic practice is sometimes.
