Typography III: Creative Layouts Support
In this third article on typography, Linda is going to build on the terminology of the first article, where the five historic font families were discussed and look at how typography can be used effectively on web sites that are visually heavy and text light (as opposed to the second article that concentrated on text-heavy websites).
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.
