typography notes
design typography
serif has the weird tales on the letters like T
“fonts are the clothing that our ideas wear”
make your font egibile
serif has tails and sans serif has no tails
too many fonts will spoil the design
fonts that are to similar cause ambiguity
use upper and lower case letters for optimum clarity
left alignment reads easiest, consider eye flow as moves down a page
tools: italics, bold, size, color , type style change
dont stretch or squish fonsts
wiegth: strive for a sense of balance
make sure that the letters are spaced evenly
move the letters so u can have a good looking letters
tracking reduces the space between letters

computer monitors can only display three colors red green and blue. they mix the colors so they can make any colors
visible color spectrum (roygbiv)

Light generated colors are derived from these primary colors: red, green and blue
if you going to make something in illustrator and its to bright it wont look good as print
print as cnyk not rgb
subtractive colors: pigment generated model
additive color: light generated model
secondary color: mixing primary colors creates another color. for example: blue+yellow =green

RGB ar three primary colors that we use every day. Computer monitors can only show red, green and blue. The computer monitors blend these three colors to make secondary colors these are the colors you see when you look a screen. Tertiary colors are colors that are just blended secondary colors like when u were little an you mixed all the colors and it turned out to be brown. Color is used against us very often in averdismemt, for example the color red on a woman makes her look fertile and more attractive to men. Also other colors can make other colors stand out more like blue and orange.
