DAY 3 : Typography

The topic of the day was typography. What a juicy topic!

Typography to me is like reading a mystery novel. You kinda have a sense of who dunnit and why but then as the story progresses, it reveals more details and throws more twists and turns in the plot, making you go "hmm!" or "aha!"

I know typography is an extremely complex area of design which was why I was excited to discuss it today. We delved into how and when to use certain typefaces, talked about how to make a page more readable, technical jargon, how to recognize a typeface by certain letters, and expressing feeling with type. It was a pretty fun day and our in class exercise was to name 10 typefaces that were given to us. I got 9 out of 10 :)

Our homework for the day was to write down a sentence that described ourselves and give it to our partner (and visa versa). Using that sentances context we needed to create a typographic representation of their name. So if they were artistic, they're name would have to be designed with an artistic typeface or designed to look somewhat artistic.

I'm really looking forward to the reveal tomorrow. I can't wait to see what everyone came up with. I'm also looking forward to seeing how well I did on mine.
