Choosing and Using Type:  http://www.will-harris.com/use-type.htm

**Read ALL of it.  Answer the following:

Why is choosing and using the right font important? (Two reasons)

-The right font is important for multiple reasons, one of which is to create an easy to read text that fits your text. A second is to match the mood and feel of what you are typing.

What are the two most important things to remember?  

-The type is there to suit the background, not overpower the text

-Type faces are nither good nor bad, just suitable or inappropriate.

What is appropriate? What do you have to consider?

-I believe the appropriate is using your type to make important subjects stand out.

-if you are just using it for fun then your text may become A little BIT INNAPROPRIATE AND NOT GIVE OUT THE CORRECT MEANING.

Tell me the rules:  (there are 10)

1.       Text should stay between 10 and 12 in the body, with 11 for the best printing ratio.

2.       Have correct spacing to give readers max legibility.

3.       Not make lines to short or too long, for it may cause confusion to the reader.

4.       Paragraph beginnings should be clear to the eye, for better legibility.

5.       Correct spacing, as in only one space after a period. Not two!

6.       Not to justify text unless needed.

7.       Underline only things that are of dire importance.

8.       Italics are better then underlining.

9.       Italics, bolds, and special text shall be kept to a minimum.

10.   Headlines deserve more headspace and less space below them.

you get the point
