Weekly inspiration#8: Typography

http://developer.apple.com/safaridemos/showcase/typography/

I've always had a great deal of trouble when it came to choosing the right typefaces that fits the theme of my design. This little typography demo provided from the link above can give you a sense of typographic layout. If you're having trouble with tracking and leading, this interaction with typography might give you more knowledge as to how much leading is necessary, or how much tracking is considered to be TOO MUCH. The features that make this demo more complete are the provisions of a Grid system below the placement of your text, and the fact that you can also edit what text you want to display will give you more of what you want to see.

Weekly Inspiration#7: Anatomy of Typography

What are some important factors other graphic designers/typographers must be aware of in order to discuss typography? You must know your art terminologies for one, for it'll be easier to understand what needs editing when you are told what changes to make. It is ALWAYS a good thing to make it seem as if you know your stuff, and one way of doing so is KNOWING your terminologies. Take a look at the link below to rewind in your learning process and learn these typographic terminologies once more because there may be some of those you may not be too familiar with.

Weekly inspiration#6: Environmental Awareness

 I've always been fond of how designers make creative use of the environment and provide additional imagery to bring about awareness. The followings ads I have found had caught my full attention as I watched and viewed them. These ads that requires the interaction from the viewers and the creative usage of the environment that they're placed on are filled with the intent of making a change in bad human behaviors.
