Typography.
Typography is a type of art that is produced from the layer and formation of words to produce pieces or work such as a poster, maps and advertisement.
Key words for typography
- Font - Bold, Italics, Regular
- Type face- Ariel etc a body of work.
- Leading - The space between sentences.
- Tracking - The space between each character within a sentence.
- Expressive typography - Its the characters that deal with meaning & feeling they try to communicate a particular meaning such as ABC
The method of typography is pretty simple.
- First you need to go to a place and write words that relate to what you see and hear.
- Then open up illustrator on the computer.
- Next you need to select a type face, you can have 3 different ones within one piece. There's not much i can tell you about this you just write the words out and change where they're positioned to fill up a space.
- Things to consider - Size, type face, shapes, lines and colour.
- Have a play around till you're happy. When you press the T button on the tools it'll bring up a box where you can change the size and type. You just need to select the black arrow to move the text around. And to use the shape tools you just select the tool and begin making your shapes, to put a shape behind text you need to make sure it comes after the text on the layers box.
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR WORK REGULARLY!.
