Graham Typography Tutorial















We had a tutorial with Graham Tansley yesterday which was very helpful we looked deep into the finer details of the layout looking into the typography the layout line spacing leading kerning uppercase lowercase page numbers. The details of the page numbers change the layout slightly in working out how the reader reads the layout with the images been on the right with the name to just have the page numbers on the left may confuse the reader and make it less easy to navigate around the name will have to be tried on the other way around on horizontal to see if the layout reads better. The copy at the bottom should hang rather than be lifted up according to the length of the copy. The close ups need numbering and this is how we can incorporate the number two.
The cover needs to mirror exactly what is inside layout wise if not done corectly don't do it as it may look gimicy. The cover can play on the number two nicly and if done clever. Set up a number 2 set or use the shape as a starting point.  Thin about upper and lower case for the ame title. more inviting friendly cjange the @ on the typeface as looks strange.
