Life does slow down alot when you and your family are ill. This virus has really knocked us all down for over a week now. I hear that many other people that I know around the country are suffering also.On to business.
I have talked about color and paper with design. How about getting customers? Naw, that would sound like a sales pitch. But hey, I will take any of you that want to be one.
Let's talk about typography. This is a style of design that is very interesting to me.
http://abc.planet-typography.com/ Typography speaks alot about a design. The fancier cursive, Edwardian and
such fonts, exhibit a more elegant, formal design. http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/comments
Whereas the Teen or a Comic Sans, is more relaxed and fun. The story goes on forever about designing with typography. There are some fonts that could ruin a design. You have the Home Sweet Home that you certainly wouldn't want to use on a business publication unless of course it had to do with cross sticking or crafts. You all I am sure, get the point. What it is, is that, we as designers, must take into consideration many elements of a design. From how it is going to be used, who is going to see it, the dimensions, colors and so on.
This is a better discussion than mine. I stay pretty layman about things but this is a good indepth example of typography. http://www.wpdfd.com/wpdtypo.htm Being ill this week has hampered my creative bug so all is slow.
I have a chance a few times a week to visit other blogs that I have discovered and some are way too far out there for me. Some even make me embarrassed but then there are some that touch me or have a valuable message. Here is one inparticular for you to visit. http://rwlrealities.blogspot.com/ Enjoy.
