So I know this looks nothing like "Spring Foundations 2010". However, that's exactly what it says. I used one of those wacky fonts that are actually a kind of modern hieroglyphic system, like Wingdings. This particular font is called, appropriately, "Zapf Dingbats".
I quite like it because the meaning is visually encoded in there but hidden from the viewer. You need to know the visual language to figure out what the writer is trying to say. Which is a lot like what we're trying to do in this course.
Also, the symbols happen to allude to our course. There are the cubes and squares which make us of perspective, and the pencils and pen nibs.
