What Type Are You? (Week 2)

“There are now about as many different varieties of letters as there are different kinds of fools.” ~Eric Gill

Typography is the single most important aspect of design and is often the weakest area of a designer’s skill set. Typography isn’t just for print designers. Web designers, while having fewer typographic choices, still must master typography and motion graphic artists can easily lose their message in films, animations, etc. with poor typographical choices.

Before we get started exploring typography, we need to set up the color space in Adobe Creative Suite. We will be setting up the color space a bit differently to what you would see in a professional print shop in order for our designs to look best on the equipment we have in class. Please setup your color space and change your preferences and settings.
