One of the victims of desktop publishing and web design accessibility has been the art of typography. Now that we can all do it ourselves, we do it without the style that artisan typographers were using for years.
This seminar will give you a primer on basic typography rules and strategies for perfect type. We’ll cover print and web, Mac and PC.
What We Will Cover:
— Proper font selection
— Mixing fonts
— Typography rules and common mistakes
— Spacing, tracking, and kerning
— Hyphenation and line breaks
— Ligatures, swash characters, fractions
— Inserting special characters (copyright symbol, bullets, etc.)
— Picture fonts (such as dingbats)
— Pixel fonts
— HTML text vs. images
— Postscript vs. TrueType vs. OpenType fonts
— Installing fonts on Mac OS X and Windows
— Cross-platform fonts
This seminar is designed for people with some familiarity with graphic design programs.
This is an in-house seminar given in our office.
