KERN IN G!!!
Kerning is hell. If I never have to do it again it w ill be a day to soon. This w as the w orst part of the asignm ent. I ran into so m an problem s, it also m ade m e realise how m any problem s I had m ade w ith m y m odifications. IT TO OK FA R TO LO N G. I died a little on the inside, but in the end i am happy w ith the result.
PRO BLEMS... H A H A H A H A H A H A H A H A w hat w asn’t a problem . m y m ain problem s included everything, how ever i w ould say the largest problem w as the assignm ent itself, but kerning m ight have been the bigger problem , that and a lack of tim e and sleep... My biggest problem w as kerning, it took so long. also i used the m etrics version of kerning after i finished m y upper case and i had to redo m y com plete uppercase set how ever apart from that I had no real problem s.
TH E EVOLUTIO N O F TYPO GRA PH Y The plan for m y book is to show the evolution of typography and w here the m ost fam ous fonts com e from and w ho designed them . I w ant m y book broken up into sections based on the era starting w ith the printing press, (yes i know typography started before then) until today. Each section/chapter w ill have inform ation about the era and the m ost popular typface from it. the typeface w ill have a typespecim en sheet and inform ation about the designer. For the Book design I w ant to keep a traditional and elegant feel to it but w ith a m odern elem ents.
sorry no m ockups yet...
