 '''Typography in London'''<br>
 '''Objective:'''To research, learn and explore different types of typography in London with a focus on calligraphy. London is filled with examples of typography, you see and notice it, but your just do not realize what it is. We will be examining what typography is, where you can see, with the end goal being a one of a kind piece of artwork."
 <br><br>
 Over the course of this project we really opened up our eyes and learned to appreciate some of the smaller less noticeable details around London. We have learned about the art of typography focusing on calligraphy, and the details behind what goes into every character. We learned that typography is not a strict form of art, and that there is lots of room for personalization. We have seen the importance of the font of the Underground, and the people who created it.

-We arrived in London on May 6th and were given 7 weeks to explore the possibilities of three projects in London. The first project I worked on was [[London Architecture]], in which we did research on and took pictures of 20 buildings you can find in London. The next project I worked on was [[London Street Art]] which was a different topic that explored the importance of this art form, but by far my favorite. The last project I worked on was [[Typography in London]], which talks about the history of typography and its importance in London. My previous experience in humanities and art was one philosophy and religion class at WPI. My major takeaway was the ability to really immerse myself in the London culture, and find out information beyond what a typical tourist knows.The 7 weeks flew by, and it truly was an experience.

 Today we went to the [[Horniman Museum]] which was outside of London.  The museum did not relate to my milestones, however on the way there since we had to take a train we saw a lot of graffiti. The museum it self was very small, there were only a couple exhibits that you did not have to pay to go into. The exhibit on natural history was the largest, and while there was a lot of interesting information, I did not appreciate the taxidermy dog heads that were on display. We also saw an exhibit on musical instruments which seemed interesting, but was filled with a school group so it was very hard to get to see everything. They were so loud, on top of the music, I could not even hear myself think. Afterwords we went outside and explored the gardens. We did the nature trail walk, and saw a wedding going on at the pavilion. The gardens were very nice and the beautiful weather today made it even better. Afterwords I went back to the flat and contributed to the [[Horniman Museum]] article.

 Today we took a trip out to [[Hampton Court Palace]].  When you first walk up to the palace it seems large, but not too big, however as soon as they opened the gates and we walked into the courtyard area, you could see how massive the palace was. When you walk into the courtyard area you can see all the different options, from Henry VIII apartments, to the kitchen area. While it did not relate to my current milestone, there were a lot of architectural details with wood carvings that framed paintings, and ornate ceilings, which related to my first milestone. I found the kitchen area to be quite interesting, as it was one of the largest parts of the palace. They were making meals for up to 600 people which is not an easy task, but they had it down to a system. The accounting office over looked the drop off area for food, so they could keep close tabs on what was being ordered. Right when you walk in there is a meat room, where they cut the fresh meat and sent it to the room next door to be cooked in a pot. They make meat pies, not for the part of enjoying the pastry around it, but because it acted as a cooking dish, and helped speed along the process. All the food had to be served on pewter plates, so as it left the kitchen they counted how many plates left, and as plates were coming back they counted again. After we finished touring all the open apartments we headed outside to the gardens. The gardens were lovely and so well kept, it was my favorite part of the palace. The gardens were not only large but there were also multiple gardens that connected. At the edge of one garden we found the largest grape vine in the world! After we took the long train ride back into London I contributed to the [[Hampton Court Palace]] article.

 ==19 June 2017:Work Day, Cafe Tour==
 <br>
 Today I went to the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs which has may locations including one on Leather Lane. It was very hot out and they only had one fan and no air conditioning, so I would not recommend going unless it is cool out. It was a very nice atmosphere however to do a lot of proofreading of my milestone pages.

 To recover form yesterdays long day we went to get macaroon ice cream sandwiches. We got them from Yolkin, she does not have her own storefront, so she was selling them out of Siam Eatery. I had the lucky charms one and it was really good. It was corn flake ice cream topped with lucky charm marshmallows, and a bright rainbow macaroon. After the ice cream treat we went back to the flat to continue work on our deliverable.

 ==6 June 2017: Work day, Cafe tour, Dessert Alert, and Romeo and Juliet==
 <br>
-Today I crossed two cafes off my list both in the Shoreditch area. The first one was Look Mum no Hands! which is a bike themed cafe. This cafe was a nice place to get some work done, but they are not a big fan of people sitting there all day doing work. They kick you off the wifi between 12-2 and 4-6 and they only let you sit at the window bar, or on the couches if you have a laptop. It was still a very nice place to sit and work for the morning though. Afterwords I went to the grand opening of Naked Dough cafe, which is a cookie dough cafe! They have a few different flavors of edible cookie dough with different toppings. Its not a great place to do work as there are only benches and since it is in the underground it was designed to be a grab and go style cafe. Later on in the afternoon, when it started downpouring, it was time for Romeo and Juliet to start. We were standing front row right up against the stage which was very cool and we had a great view. The show itself however was quite interesting, it was a very modern take on the play and I still haven't decided if I liked it or not. There were some parts that were confusing though as they were using the script exactly as he wrote it at some points, which can be difficult to understand, and at other times they were interjecting modern terms and phrases. At one point in the show there were actors sitting on the stage right in front of me, which was very cool, but the closeness did make some scenes uncomfortable. Overall I got the experience of a show in the globe, pouring rain, and cold wind included! I later contributed to the [[Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theater (2017)]].
