Elements of Typographic Design

Lan­guage
Lan­guage is entwined with typo­graphy. Type can be defined as the dis­play and arrange­ment of lan­guage. As design­ers, we should care about this.

Type­set­ting
Type­set­ting is the pro­cess of tak­ing raw text and mark­ing it up. Mak­ing head­ings, lists, emphas­ised text etc.

Grid
The typo­graphic grid is a found­a­tion upon which lay­outs can be built.

Hier­archy
Con­cep­tu­ally, con­tent has levels of import­ance. Typo­graph­ic­ally, Hier­archy visu­al­ises this.

Font
The font used to dis­play the content.

Rhythm
How the arrange­ment and lay­out of the type aids reading.

Lay­out
Com­bin­ing type with other graphic ele­ments such as pho­to­graphs, illus­tra­tions, video or other UI elements.

Col­our
Col­our, when dis­cussed in typo­graphic terms, can mean two things: red, green, blue etc. or dark or light typo­graphic col­our. Dark typo­graphic col­our is dense type–tight lead­ing or line height, tight whitespace. Light typo­graphic col­our is the opposite.

Con­tent
One of the unfor­tu­nate things on the web is that, gen­er­ally, we’re design­ing not know­ing what the con­tent is. We have an idea of what the con­tent might be, but when deal­ing with con­tent man­age­ment sys­tems and the flow of data, it’s very dif­fi­cult to know. But con­tent is an import­ant part of typo­graphic design and this con­nec­tion is one of the cas­u­al­ties of the web stand­ards man­tra of sep­ar­at­ing con­tent and present­a­tion. When we do that, it’s very dif­fi­cult to tell stor­ies with design.

London to Paris

October 9th, 2009  |  Published in Movies  |  Comment

I haven’t traveled from London to Paris straight, but did oversleep and miss a tour coach along with my roommate this past March (too much exploring/partying I guess, and lack of sleep). We hopped on the Eurostar bullet train to try and catch the rest of the Contiki group at the London Pub, but were 10-minutes late and had to catch the next one =\

Anyways, ‘London to Paris’.

AllOrNothingproductions.com present ‘London to Paris’, directed by Grace Ladoja, documents 10 riders from all over the world making the track bike journey from London to Paris to meet Lance Armstrong as the Tour De France 2009 comes to a close. Made in association with Nike Sportswear’s CTRS project, the film’s NYC premiere is set for late October 2009… stages09.com
