The Master
Typography is a critical aspect of design that needs to be mastered when in a profession that focuses on grabbing the eye's attention. Learning how to interact with text is valuable when leveraging one's typography skills. I have spent years learning how to adjust, learn and master typography and now I love to share with others how they can be strong typographers too.
Let’s Play a Game
I have taught typography for years now and one of my favorite ways to teach it is by utilizing online games. Type War is one that can get many people's blood boiling because once you think you can identify a font one letter of the alphabet can throw you off again. This game is a thriller that allows you to quickly recognize unique fonts.
Kern Type is one of the most aggravating yet addicting games you could play. Understanding the importance of spacing out letters correctly in a design project is crucial and this game is sure to teach you not to make a major error. By starting on this game you will be sucked into all the different challenges that will keep your mind awake and heart rate up trying to master each skill.
The Big Design
Design is a fun part of being a public relations professional but it is important to remember that a lot of learning comes with it too. Typography is vital to master when designing a piece because words are typically found in a design in some form or fashion. Having the skill set to know what font is romantic, attention-getting, or serious is all valuable things that need to be recognized when working in design.
