IXD101 ( 30249 ) - Interaction Design Fundamentals. 2022-23
This week we looked at typography for screen.
The anatomy of a typeface dissects the individual parts of each letters form, and how it can be altered to create new and interesting fonts. Designers use this structure as it is made up of components that ensure a successful outcome in terms of legibility and aesthetics.
“The reader should be able to read the message of a text easily and comfortably. This depends to a not inconsiderable extent on the size of the type, the length of the lines and the leading (line-height).” Josef Mueller–Brockmann
I created two samples (as seen below) by choosing a suitable typeface for each section. There is not a huge difference between each design, the only difference being a change of font in the body text.
Taking the same text as above, we created layouts that were suitable for mobile view. I created three versions with the minimal difference of including colour and a suitable image.
