Typography Research
*Typography is the "Art of Type", It's kind of a boring word that gives this art form a bad name...(Kind of like this font I'm forced to use). Typography is actually what makes all text we read visually make sense. Without text a photo is open to interpretation, text narrows our focus and creates a connection to the design by way of color, size, font and placement. All these ideas must be taken into account to create a connection between the theme of the design and the text.
*Text isn't always used to just create words. Don't forget that text is merely a shape that we interpret as an English character, from which we arrange into words to create sentences and paragraphs. Text should always be intended to create a connection with the theme of the design, and doesn't have to be a word that is located within the bounds of the visual canvas. Text can be used as shapes that fall off the page, or used as background texture...forget what you know...
experiment...life doesn't always go from left to right! And neither should your text...
