You learn something new everyday. Today that something new as that Arial is a knock off of the classic Helvetica. Apparently the story goes that Microsoft was too cheap to pay to use Helvetica, so they hired a design firm to design a font that had the same size specifications of Helvetica so that they could be interchangeable, but this way they wouldn't have to pay rights.
My name is Katie and I am student at Parsons the New School for Design in the Communication Design department. I like to create, and this blog is a place to post things that inspire me. I hope you enjoy it!
I sell my personal designs in the form of greeting cards on Etsy. Check them out here.
