rip Douglas Trumbull. These opening shots in Blade Runner where done completely in camera, no post. The film was exposed numerous times each time with new light and flames to build up shot. Each shot took 16-20 exposures. An absolute master.

So we end up on the catch-all of a "senior designer" someone expected to lead projects and take on conceptual rounds like a director, but also expected to produce the final outputs and deliverables and other subsequent jobs a mid- or junior would usually fill (5/9)

Cannot call yourself a type designer/foundry until you have drawn exactly; - A san-serif "Helvetica alternative" - A trendy display face you insist can work for text (ie. reverse-contrast) - One weight of an attempt at a traditional serif which you will never draw italics for
