Typography

Overview

The project we were assigned was a typography diagram. Our motive was to type our name in a serif font and label it accordingly. We learned about the different heights ( Baseline, X-Height, and Caps Height ) that made up a font. We then discovered the parts of a serif font that make it unique ( Beak, Counter, Axis, Etc. ). Once we had the knowledge we needed we were able to begin our project.

What I Learned

I wasn't aware that there were names for everything when it came to fonts. Graphic designers go into so much depth in terms of creating a font, making this section thinner, this section sharper, and this section rounder. The people put so much effort into creating a font that represents a specific mood. Kudos to graphic designers for being so detailed.

My Experience

I found this project quite easy. Handling the tools and arranging the text wasn't difficult but I struggled with labelling. The text is just so unbelievably uneven on either side and it irritates me greatly. And I wanted to do a different color like a soft pink or a baby blue to stand out against my yellow theme but it wouldn't fit since I don't have any colored accents on my blog. I plan on changing that as soon as possible so my blog isn't so bland.
