Graphic Design

Howdy,

I would be pleased to see some lessons on graphic design.

I am just starting my Greek studies and have oh so much to learn. But one day, I'll have some grammar under my belt and will have gone through such things as position, colors, office, etc.. Just a thought so that when I'm able to verbally discuss different topics, I could discuss design concepts, application, and typography.

If only GreekPod had someone with an interest in design. :)

Thanks,

Hi Dunn,

You won't believe this but I'm actually a graphic designer! Basically I do that and a few other things for Innovative Language, the company behind GreekPod101.com. You can read my bio here:
https://www.greekpod101.com/about-us/me ... roduction/

To be honest, I don't think a lesson on graphic design would be interesting for most of our users. We focus more on everyday life dialogues rather than lingo of specific professions, but if you have any questions about graphic design terms in Greek, just leave me a comment! I'll be glad to help :)

May I ask, how come you want to learn graphic design vocabulary in Greek? Are you planning to study or work in Greece? I'm just curious, that's all :)!

Howdy, Stefanía,

Actually, I had already read your bio so was just joking a little bit about not being able to find a designer who knows Greek. :)

If we can't make lessons on design because that's too specific, that's fine. Design is just one place my interests lie and when I think of talking to someone, I don't imagine talking about how we're both doing or the weather. Besides, after that and a short biography, if we have no interests, there's not much to talk about, right?

I have no plans to work in Greece at this point, but the opportunity would be welcomed. Right now, I would need some design terminology and specifically some typography terminology to learn how to create Greek characters in typefaces. By trade, I'm a draftsman (construction/engineering-type drafting, not just drawing), and when I try to use the simple one-stroke fonts used in drafting, there are no Greek characters. So one of my first orders of business would be how to create those characters, just in the simple one-stroke fonts at first.

After that, design, art, woodworking, metalworking, all hold interest for me, and all have specific vocabularies which will be different in Greek than English (or American).

I'm going to hold you to your offer to help me with terminology I may not be able to figure out!

Thanks,
-- dunn

Hi Dunn,

Making your own font sounds challenging! I hope I can be of help if you need any terms in Greek.

Cheers,
