The presence of typography both good and bad, can be seen everywhere.

Typography makes at least two kinds of sense, if it makes any sense at all. It makes visual sense and historical sense. The visual side of typography is always on display, and materials for the study of its visual form are many and widespread. The history of letter- forms and their usage is visible too, to those with access to manuscripts, inscriptions and old books, but from others it is largely hidden. This book has therefore grown into something more than a short manual of typographic etiquette. It is the fruit of a lot of long walks in the wilderness of letters: in part a pocket field guide to the living wonders that are found there, and in part a meditation on the ecological principles, survival techniques, and ethics that apply. The principles of typography as I understand them are not a set of dead conventions but the tribal customs of the magic forest, where ancient voices speak from all directions and new ones move to unremembered forms. One question, nevertheless, has been often in my mind. When all right-thinking human beings are struggling to remember that other men and women are free to be different, and free to become more different still, how can one honestly write a rulebook? What reason and authority exist for these commandments, suggestions, and instructions? Surely typographers, like others, ought to be at liberty to follow or to blaze the trails they choose. Typography thrives as a shared concern - and there are no paths at all where there are no shared desires and directions. A typographer determined to forge new routes must move, like other solitary travellers, through uninhabited country and 4 against the grain of the land, crossing common Typography Portfoliothoroughfares in the silence before dawn. The

I don’t like to for dead. Originality is everywhere, but much originality call these principles universals, because they are largely is blocked if the way back to earlier discoveries is cut or unique to our species. Dogs and ants, for example, read overgrown. If you use this book as a guide, by all means and write by more chemical means. But the underlying leave the road when you principles of typography are, wish. That is pre- cisely “Typography is the craft of endowing human at any rate, stable enough the use of a road: to reach language with a durable visual form, and to weather any number of individu- ally chosen points human fashions and fads. thus with an independent existence.” of departure. By all means Typography is the craft of break the rules, and break endowing human language them beautifully, deliberately, and well.

n this snap project, we play with the spacing, scales, and positions of the letters on a page in order to create distinctive typographic compositions. Gradually, we have been allowed to increase our use of creativities and decrease the limitations on the project as the quarter went by.We are now free to use our imagination and play with the compositions of this project. Projects with more limitation create limited visual impacts. However, a limited visual impact doesn’t always get carried out in a negative manner. With a creative mind, a simply composed project can be quite easy on the eyes as opposed to more over-exaggerated ones. I’ve found snap projects that allow more freedoms to expand our creativities much more interesting for me. With more freedoms, we are presented with more opportunities to uncover the potentials of typography and give people that visual impact we look for in a project. With fewer limitations, which allows our creativities to run free, the finished product could really reach that potential we look for. Through this snap project, we are now more familiar with the characteristics and connotations of typography as well as effectively utilizing types as elements for units of composition.
