Blog Entry 12 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Type Categories

This is an example of modern type face because it has a striking appearance to it.

This is script type face because it flows together with each character very well.

This is a good example of slab serif type face because the serifs are literally slabs and there is very little thick to thin transition.

This is a great example of sans serif type face because there are no serifs anywhere and the thick to thin transition is non existant

This is decoration type face because the font has nice little decorative features in and around it.

This is a great example of oldstyle type face because the the serifs on the lowercase letters are slanted, there is a diagonal stress on the letters, and there is a thick to thin transition easily seen.

Blog Entry 12 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Type Categories

This is an example of concord text type because it is all the same size, color, and font face. It is also very repetitive.

This is an example of conflict text type because there is so much going on here with different colors and sizes that you can't focus on just one thing.

This is another example of concord text type because the main thing you look at is all plain and the same looking.

Another example of conflict because you can only make out a few examples of words because everything is literally in 'conflict'.

This is a good example of contrasting text type because it forces your eyes onto the people getting married and you move your eyes from there. Everything on here is very exciting.

Another great example of contrast because the title of the book is much bigger and at a brighter color than the rest of the cover, forcing your eyes to it first.

Blog Entry 10 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Alignment

This shows right alignment, where the text ends at an imaginary line on the right side.

This shows an example of how bad alignment can make a business card, or anything else for that matter, look terrible.

On the other hand, this business card shows how good alignment (left alignment) can make a business card look great.

This is a good example of alignment because the second line matches up with the first line quite perfectly. It allows for your eyes to make a smooth transition from line to line

Although there is alignment for the text, it is aligned in quite a way that is cool. They matched the letter 'O' together to create the effect of OO7.

 

 

 

This is a great example of alignment because there is an invisible line on the left and right side of the text, making it look very professional and smooth.

There is no alignment here what so ever, everything in this typography image is cluttered and doesn't have any relation to each other.

Blog Entry 8 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Proximity

This movie poster for Jurassic Park really displays proximity because the way the title is placed in the middle and then the actors/director of the movie in a different color and placed away from the center.

Each category is easily distinguished from one another because of the bold blue title. Without the title, it would all be one mess

The name of the restaurant and sponsor is located away from the main attraction, the Baconator, and placed together. The name of the sandwich is in yellow to draw your attention to it quickly

The design of this business card is great at showing proximity. The title of the company stands out from the rest while the his name and his contact info are easily separable from each other.

This book cover has the title Grow Rich in white letter to draw attention to what people want the most, money.
