16:02 Question time!!!! In a design, is the image or type supposed to be more important than the other?

17:30 It’s depends! Your image and type should have a symbiotic relationships!

18:20 Aesthetic Apparatus is a brilliant example of a symbiotic relationship.

19:16 Keyword: Process!!!!

19:32 Example time. Justin Timberlake is the basis of said example. <3

21:23 Putting an image and type together is like putting a puzzle together.

22:25 You can tell what level a designer is at by how well their type goes with their design.
