Type: some videos to get us started
I want to start us out today with a few videos to give us a little bit of a transition into talking about fonts and typography.
Some Font Fun
And here are some fun sites we can tinker around with just a bit, to show you that type, like life, can be fun times.
How to get nifty fonts
You might notice that most computers– even the ones here in the super-slick design-minded labs– don’t have a huge selection of fonts.
This can put you at a disadvantage as a creator. But not to worry. Fonts are out there.
Let me show you a few cool places to visit.
Head to the website to view the Typography Remix assignment.

Pro tip 1: no pictures means NO PICTURES.
Pro tip 2: short quotes are good.
But super-short quotes are problematic.
Pro tip 3: while executing this assignment
can be easy or complex, understanding the proper use of
fonts and colors is CRITICAL.
Pro tip 4: typing a quote from Harry Potter in the Harry Potter font is not an
automatic win.
Pro tip 5: remember with careful design
less is sometimes more.
Due to a death in the family, I will not be here Thursday.
But… we soldier on. I will be available via email if you need
me.
On Thursday, by 11:59 pm, I want you to email me the quote you want to use for your typography remix. Also
keep in mind that we have a rhetorical analysis and a rough draft due on
October 2nd.
