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

This is oldstyle because it has serifs and it also has this thick look to it.

This is modern because it is very bold and a striking look to it.

This is slab serif because it has serifs and is very easy to read the words.

This is sans serif because there are no serifs on the end of each letter.

This is script because all of the letters are connected together to make words.

This is decorative because the letters have a funky design to them to give them a fun and crazy look.

Blog Entry 11 – The Non-Designer's Design Book: Type

This is concord because it is simple and the type is all the same.

This is concord because this example is also simple. There are two examples of type but the larger one is just to make it stand out as the header.

This is conflict bceause there are different font types and your eyes bounce around everywhere.

This is also conflict because of the different typefaces. Your eyes kind of wander up and down between the word at the bottom to what is up at top.

This is contrast because of some of the words stick out because they are in bold fact or their font is bigger.

This is also contrast because the word MEDIA really sticks out and they are trying to drive home the importance of this word.

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

This is a good example because all of the letters are aligned to the left.

This is a good example because all of the text starts from the left and the cars do not interupt the text.

This is a good example because it has everything categorized under the proper headings.

This is a good example because this also has everything aligned to the left and has everything under the appropriate heading.

This is a good example because everything is aligned in the middle and forces your eyes straight down.

This is a bad example because everything is in two categories then it starts to go down the middle.

This is a bad example because the headings are all over the place and your eyes bounce around everywhere.
