Typography - A Key Element in Graphic Design


What is Typography and Why is it Important? ❏ Wikipedia describes typography as “the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed”. ❏ Based on this definition, we can say that the perfect design is not just about images, structures, shapes and blending, but also a lot about typography. ❏ It’s important for good graphic designers to master the art of typography in order to help their clients’ business grow.

So How Can We Improve Our Typography? 1.Avoiding Too Many Fonts ❏As a graphic designer, you are full of creativity, and want to showcase your skills in the most vivid ways possible, but it’s important to draw a line – that’s the difference between an amateur and experienced designer. ❏While you can experiment with different fonts quite luxuriously, you should avoid doing so in the same page.

2. Ensuring Correct Spacing and Grouping ❏ To rank 10 on 10 on the readability radar, you must pay a lot of attention on the spacing and grouping of the content. ❏ The space between all the letters, the space between two lines or pictures, and the space between all the words should be exactly similar, or else you will lose your marks immediately. ❏ Also make sure that the groups a particular sentence is broken into make sense for the readers.

3. Cross-Checking for Proper Alignment ❏If your text and pictures are not aligned properly, the chances of your design to retain the attention of customers for long would be very bleak. ❏Not only will it make your content look cluttered, but the essence of the whole message behind it will also be lost. ❏This is certainly a very small point, but plays a great role in improving your typography, and get your designs approved in the very first go. www.virtualemployee.com

4. Choosing the Right Font Type and Size ❏ Just some time back, the trend of using decorative fonts was in commotion, but over the time, people have grown fonder for simplicity. ❏ Today, simple fonts that are easy to read from afar are preferred over the overly stylish ones as they seldom do the trick. ❏ And just because you want the onlookers to focus on a particular area, methods like playing rigorously with the font size should be refrained from. www.virtualemployee.com

5. Focusing on Colour Theme and Overall Readability ❏So, you created the perfect design, but due to the wrong colour theme choice or a brand logo backdrop, it’s readability is adversely affected. ❏Won’t you feel so demotivated if the design that you came up with didn’t do well on the hoarding or a social media platform it was meant for? ❏Thus, paying attention to these aspects is also a very important and inseparable part of the process.
