Typography Multimedia & Webpage Design 1.01 Investigate typefaces and fonts.

Desktop Publishing Involves using a desktop computer and publishing software to create documents for publication. Some examples of Desktop publications include: –Flyers –Newsletters –Magazine and Newspaper Articles –Advertisements –Proposals –Brochures –Business Correspondence Letterhead Business cards Envelopes

The Target Audience Publications are created to convey a message to the intended audience, called the target audience. The target audience will determine the: –Language used. –Typefaces used. –Colors used. –Graphics used.

Typography Many publications will contain a large amount of text to deliver the message. It is important to understand a few basic guidelines for working with text and typography. Typography refers to the design of the characters and the way they are presented on the page.

Typefaces, Fonts, and Font Families A typeface is the basic design of a character. Each typeface has a design for each letter of the alphabet, numbers, punctuation symbols and may contain other symbols. Example: ArialABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Click here for more examples of typefaces.

Typeface Categories Typefaces can be divided into four main categories. –Serif –Sans Serif –Script –Decorative/Ornamental

Serif Typefaces Have attributes or strokes at the tips of the letters called serifs. Examples: Bodoni Courier Goudy Times New Roman Used for body text in printed publications. Business correspondence Book text Magazine article text Newspaper text Newsletter text Recommended sizes for body text are 10 to 12 points. k

Serif Typefaces

Sans Serif Typefaces There are no attributes (serifs) at the tips of the letters. Examples: Arial Gill Sans Berlin Sans Verdana Used for very large or very small text and for digital display. Webpages On-screen display Headings Tables Captions Headlines k

Serif vs Sans Serif Typefaces Sans Serif The ends of each character do not have attributes (serifs)

Decorative/Ornamental Typefaces Designed strictly to catch the eye Should be used sparingly. Can be hard to read. Examples Chiller Broadway Webdings engravers MT Used for decoration. Headlines on flyers or advertisements. Webdings can be used for symbols in logos.

Script Typefaces Appear to have been written by hand with a calligraphy pen or brush –Should never be used to key in all caps. Example French Script Uses Formal Invitations Place cards Poetry Announcements

Fonts Its easier to understand fonts if you begin with the original definition of a font. Before desktop publishing, people calledtypesetters set the type by hand using moveable type. Each character was a separate block of metal. The letters were set on the layout to form the text. Each typeface had a complete set of metal characters for each size, weight, etc. Click here for an image on Wikipedia

Fonts Continued Each different size or weight required a completely separate set of metal characters. Each metal set of characters was kept in its own drawer and was called a type font. So a font is the specific size, weight and style applied to a typeface. Examples:Arial, bold, 12 point Arial, italic, 14 point Arial, 10 point

Font Style The font style refers to the slant, weight and special effects applied to the text. Examples: –Bold –Italic –Underline –Shadow –Outline –Small Caps

Font Families A font family is the different sizes, weights and variations of a typeface. Examples:Arial Arial Black Arial Narrow Arial Rounded MT Bold

Typeface Spacing Monospace Proportional Leading Kerning Tracking

Monospaced Typefaces Each letter takes up the same amount of space regardless of the letter size. Advantages –Easier to see thin punctuation marks. –Similar characters look more different. –If limited to a certain number of characters per line, each line will look alike. Used often in computer programming and biology Courier is monospaced

Proportional Typefaces Proportional –The amount of space each character takes up is adjusted to the width of that character. –Therefore, an i is not as wide as an m and receives less space. Advantages –Does not take up as much space as monospaced typefaces. –Easier to read. Used in most documents and publications. Times New Roman is proportional

Proportional vs. Monospace

Leading The vertical spacing between lines of text. Pronounced led-ding. In most software programs, it is referred to as line spacing. In Desktop Publishing, it is still referred to as leading because typesetters used long pieces of lead between the moveable type to create blank lines between the text.

Leading Continued If there were no space between the lines of text, the letters would touch the lines above and below them and would be extremely difficult to read. Used to: –Slightly increase or decrease the length of a column of text so that it is even with an adjacent column. –To make a block of text fit in a space that is larger or smaller than the text block.

Leading Look in the nook to find the book that you borrowed to read. Leading (vertical spacing between lines of text)

Kerning Horizontal spacing between pairs of letters Used to add or subtract space between pairs of letters to create a more visually appealing and readable text. BOOK – before kerning. – after kerning the Os.

Tracking Horizontal spacing between all of characters in a large block of text. Makes a block of text seem more open or more dense. Examples

Tracking Continued Makes a block of text more open and airy or more dense. Used to expand or contract a block of text for the purpose of aligning two columns.

Kerning, Leading, Tracking LOOK in the nook to find the book that you borrowed to read. Kerning (horizontal spacing between pairs of letters) Leading (vertical spacing between lines of text) Tracking (horizontal spacing between all characters in a large block of text.
