What are journals?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Some people think of journals, as newspaper. Well, they can be but they can also be writing journals for poets, writers, novelist, diaries, and sketchbooks.  Graphic designs design the looks of these as well.  They may not always be designed by designers, but they are used for creative personalities. Thus having a graphic designer design them only make sense.

The main thing that a graphic designer has to keep in mind is the writing area.  Some people like tight lines, other like more space and even yet some like no lines at all.

Composition and Typefaces

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Since we’ve been talking about compositions and using design principles I felt it was key to talk about typography along this as well.  Your typography should complement your designs, not make them unreadable or cluttered. While composition is crucial, basic typesetting is just as important, a wrong type face can ruin a whole piece. It is in the actual letters of the type that you will need to pay attention. These small changes can make a world of difference. Be sure to go in and kern or add leading as needed to each major piece of typography. It is not as important in large bodies of text, but make sure that whatever your typeface it is readable throughout.
