Description of Our Project
We decided to use the font Century Gothic due to its simple and modern design. Century Gothic is a sans-serif style font in geometric style. It was released by Monotype Imaging in 1991. It is a less-used and very similar alternative font to Futura, a font with a very similar look. Since its creation, it has become one of the most popular fonts that are used in logos, as it has been used in the Ellen Degeneres Show logo and the Good Morning America logo, and in Video Games, such as Bioshock and Sim City 5. It is also widely used because of the fact that it uses much less ink than similar fonts, while still having an appealing look.

We also added more detail to the window by adding a close out and expand button.

We thought it would be fitting to use a design of a Mac Classic II because of this. We used the simple typeface and simple design because of the fact that a Mac Classic II would be unable to be more complicated, which would make it
