Lesson 11

Learnt about typography today! Ive been seeing alot of typography nowadays, like only of recent. it seems to be around us alot, or maybe i only took notice of them now. Even SBS is using it! the poster they have on the bus, about 97% of people who take buses will move in poster.. i think thats typography?? i think...
but anyways, we learnt what makes a good typo, like how the secondary font must not be any larger than the primary, if not the audience would not be able to capture the main  message the advertiser is trying to put across, or they may just lose sight of the main idea just like that. We also learnt that the font type used is especially important because a font on its own can have a portrayed meaning, like how italicized handwriting fonts give off a very classic and romantic vibe, how block, oddly shaped fonts will give off a fun vibe, so the font used is always very important. Here are some good typographies i found online!

the above is the example of using typography as an artwork
