THats not some bad reasoning at all Soap. I'll be sure to take a look.
A question though: You know those type of typography you see on DA where people make like super cool text effects and such. Do you consider that good typography?

Agrees with TK!
Here's my first try at a typo sig without reading the rules. Note, first typo ever for me.

Text effects are just text effects. The best typography in all the world uses none. People just like to add pezzazz but adding text effects to bad typography still makes it typography and vice versa, the effects are really a non-entity (which is why I always say they're unecessary).

If you notice, none of them (all of them beneath the line are from Industry Professionals) use text effects simply because they don't need to.
Do research! I cannot stress this enough. If you don't know anything about famous typographers you'll never be any good at typography. Look up:
The rule givers:
Eric Gill
Eric Spiekermann
Herbert Bayer
Derek Berdsall
Mathew Carter
Adrian Frutiger
Jonathan Hoefler
Paul Renner
The Rule Breakers:
David Carson
Edward Fella
Jeff Keedy
Stefan Sagmeister
Jonathan Barnbrook
Michael Worthington
Phil Baines

not gonna lie, seeing your work and the insight shared in this thread has made me acknowledged typography as something more than just words, however, I'm more centered with:
pwnfuse.deviantart.com
Check out my DA to see what I like. I just wanna improve on my works and such. Not to mention I got loads of work from college, I don't lots of time on my hands. So lets say like when I want to do something different from vector art (scenery and abstract), I might give my shot at Typography. I'll play close attention to the guidelines you set as well but right now, I'm more into this.
Get where I'm coming from?
