Typography Assignment Part 2
I visited http://www.pentagram.com/what-type-are-you/ to find what type I am...
Expanded Antique
Unfortunately I don't know much about fonts/types. But I was interested in the type I was chosen...
If you look at this table which i've grabbed from the website Expanded Antique is at the bottom with a percentage of just 1.6% And thats out of 447,234 people.
I think this proves I am unique ;)
The font isn't my favorite that I have seen and I wouldn't of paired this type with me at all.

Typography assignment part 1
For those who don't know what typography is : It's the art and technique Of arranging type In order to make a language visible. The arrangement of type Involves the selection Of typefaces, Point size, line length, Leading (line Spacing) Adjusting the spaces between groups of letters and adjusting the spaces between Pairs of letters.
It's a bit like type design.
It's all about FONTS and messing around with letters over pictures to create a new piece of art.
Mostly used in advertising.

MODULE ASSIGNMENT
ASSIGNMENT TITLE / Typography 2
DATE 20TH FEBUARY 2012 - 27TH FEBUARY 2012
DESCRIPTION
Different fonts convey diverse meanings and blend in with other elements of a piece, for example a marker scribed font overlaid with an image of royalty would convey an anti establishment or revolutionary visual description (see Jamie Reid).
Task one - Task one – what type are you
Pentagram, a notable design studio set up by Alan Fletcher, Theo Crosby, Colin Forbes, Kenneth Grange and Mervyn Kurlansky in 1972 have taken the task of identifying everyone a type face that suites their personality, go to the site below and find out what type you are. Then find out about that font and as much visual information as possible.
Discuss with the group (& document) –
What type you are and do you agree?
Do the origins and definitions of the type sit with you as a person / photographer?
Are the ways in which the font is used with imagery match what you would used?
