<Just my type> is a very interesting book to tell u the story of type. I often read the book on my ipad mini when i was on bussiness trip, it is not convenient to make some notes on ipad, so I go back to the original way to take notes. Then I found that the more I draw the more I like the way to keep the information of a book, so I dicided to do this project to draw every book I have read. That is so called "sketch note" :)
Day1
The system type of the first generation ipod is "chicago"
The Declaration of Independence is written with "Garamond"
"Upper Cases" and "Lower Case" came from the conventional typesetting, cause the worker put the UpperCases type at the upper side and put the Lower Cases at the lower side.
Day2
