About Me

My name is Alex Liggins, I’m from Beaverton, Or, a suburb ten minutes outside of Portland. I’m currently a student at Lane Community College, who plans on transferring to the University of Oregon to pursue a degree in journalism. I grew up the middle child in a family of seven, I had two older brothers and two younger sisters. Ever since a young age, sports have been apart of my families everyday life. My older brother’s both played football, basketball and ran track. I ran cross country and played tennis and basketball. My sister’s have been doing gymnastics since they were real young. Sports were our tool to deal with our problems, my love of the game and, overall, competition is what makes me want to stay close to the sports world.

After school, I want to write and talk on podcasts about sports and pop culture topics. I love sports, because growing up they’ve been a big part of my life and taught me a lot of life lessons along the way. I want to talk about pop culture (mainly music, television and movies), because I like trying to interpret lyrics and shots in television/movies purposes. These are topics that I can ramble on and on about all day, my friends and I get in debates daily over these topics. That influenced me in wanting to start a podcast, our dialogue is colorful and full of facts, because we love making fun of each other, but we also love being the one who’s right more. Even though many topics don’t have a right or wrong answer, we’ll all say how we truly feel about a scenario, and to me, knowing where someone is coming from (journalists) on a issue is more important.

The Center for Student Engagement is somewhere among the crowd.

The Art Gallery always has something interesting to look at on your free time.

My face didn’t know what it wanted to do.

I met some people in front of Mary Jo’s office.

If you haven’t talked to Judy yet, you should. She’s super cool.

Typostrate: A world of Typography!

Typostrate is a professional typography blog. I think the site design is chic and clean. I enjoy the use of black and white. Although a simple design, it is rather effective with easy navigation. The easy navigation is provided from the drop down menus and a search bar at the top of the website. Each drop down menu is linked to a category that leads to things from useful information to inspiring images and tips. Each category has at least 5 or more different sections to explore. For example, the resources tab has the sections of free fonts, book reviews, templates, videos, guides, pens of choice, and design deals.

One of my favorite pages from this blog is the Guides section under Resources. This section is just one of the many useful pages filled with quality information from Typography to even a Brush Pen Guide. http://typostrate.com/category/resources/guides/

This site has so much to offer readers with rich tutorials, quotes, and more! I also noticed this blog is frequently updated which keeps more people involved with great content.

Overall, I think Typostrate is a unique website that explores typography in a well rounded way. People seem to forget Typography is not something minuscule but something important that can make or break a piece. I think Typostrate knows that and seeks to share and educate people in the ways of this art form. I can see this through their mission statement on their about us page.

“The mission since the begining of typostrate, was to create a site which shows the passion and power of typography to the world. Typostrate tries to reach as much people as possible on the planet and show them that typography is not only a niche product or a sublevel of graphic design. Typography is an own world and we take you on the journey through this adventure. Enjoy our site and spread the love for typography to your friends and family.”
