I enjoyed using the Bauhaus font to label the National Park and City features, and I looked it up in Wikipedia. This font was based on Herbert Bayer's 1925 experimental Universal typeface. Who was Herbert Bayer? He was an Austrian graphic designer and artist and the last surviving member of Bauhaus. He died in 1985. He studied under Wassily Kandisky, and eventually ended up living in Aspen, Colorado. The Denver Art Museum apparently contains a large number of his works.

MODULE 4 TYPOGRAPHY
Our assignment this week was to correctly label a map of the central Florida Keys. This was also our first introduction to Abode Illustrator. AI looks like it is going to be great to work with, once we have figured it out.

Great job here. You may not want too many different fonts as it can be distracting.
