Typography I: The Slimmed-Down Basics Support
This article is the first of a short series on typography and its application to web design. The 'feel' of any website is hugely influenced by the way the content is presented and, of course, the font chosen will be crucial to the readers' perception of the site.
Despite this, typography can be easily overlooked in the grand plans of web page layout. This series will go some way to helping us understand a little bit more about typography and how to make the most of it. Furthermore there's valuable information along the way that might help us all with our printed documents as well.
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
