Aaron as a font...

If I were to compare myself to a font, it would be Trebuchet MS. This font is simple, upfront, and easy to read. I consider myself to be a fairly simple person, not too complex. I don't try to hide things from people either. I present myself plainly and simply for the world to see. I also think this font represents me because just something about it stands out to me. The way the letters are formed are very readable and pronounced. It has a very friendly feel to it, and also a very relaxed one, not too serious. I like to think of myself as being a playful, friendly, and relaxed person. Also this font does not seem too 'out there' or crazy. I feel I have a few kinks here and there, but am a very well-rounded person and certainly not worthy of being strapped into a straight-jacket, which some of the more 'creative' fonts might unintentionally say about the people who choose them.

The emotions of Clemson gameday as a semester project

Being a student at Clemson University, you quickly learn the importance of college football's impact. It not only affects the image of Clemson University as a whole to the nation, but also can have an enormous impact on the moods and lives of the student body.
I would like to do a photo-montage of the varying emotions a college football game can create here at Clemson. From the joyous pre-game tailgating and the buildup of excitement until the Tigers run down the hill, to the sheer ecstasy of a long touchdown run by James Davis. The inebriation of many of the fans (which might have a magnifying effect on their emotions) is another thing I would like to capture (though not to an extreme). Also, I would like to encompass the full scale of emotions, which may include the heartbreak on all of the fans faces after a close loss (hopefully we will not have many, if ANY of these photos).
With this visual representation of the many emotions college football and its results can bring, I hope to visually communicate just how important football is to the lives of everyone involved in the Clemson community.
