"CID, Cognitive-based Information design, is a way of presenting information that parallels how the brain actually processes information." Essentially, it's the practice of presenting information that so learners and users can use and learn from it.

I attended a workshop called Type Speaks by Association of Illustrators and Graphic Artists-Wisconsin featuring hand-letterer and type extraordinaire, James T Edmondson. Held in the Art Building at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a bunch of us gathered to learn all about type creation. I was excited to learn more about fonts and lettering, and basic rules and classic fonts as a springboard for creating my own type.
