The typography assignment that I did for my pr publications class was fun. I didn’t expect that I would learn as much about letter placement or font as I did. It was interesting how different fonts have different connotations and it seems as if they were meant for different types of messages. I always thought […]
7/46= My score to the poster letters game. Before this game, I always thought I was kinda decent at recognizing logos or brands by just glancing at a small piece of it. Boy, was I wrong. This game was really fun and showed me how fonts can really help “jazz up” a movie. Come […]
Apparently, I rock at typography games. Who knew? I think I’m going to drop out of school and pursue this. Tell me something I don’t know, Shoot the Serif. It appears I can identify sans-serif sans-problem. This was an interesting game, although I wasn’t as good as it.

Typography is an important factor in publication design because typography is the technique of arranging words and fonts in a way that promotes clarity and accessibility. This week in PR Pubs we played some typography computer games to increase our knowledge and skill level. The first typography game I played was Shoot the Serif. In…
So, I’m not going to lie.. These games were a blast. Even though I think I am a little computer game challenged, I managed to play each of them and can truly say I learned something from these simple games. Shoot the Serif was hilarious because I was sitting in one of my classes playing […]
Poster Letters was my favorite because I’m sure like many, I was certainly over-confident. I felt silly afterwards when I…
“Do you like learning about typography?” “YES” Just by uppercasing the word ‘YES’ you immediately feel a sense of impact or a burst of emotion. Letters, fonts and capitalization are all apart of typography. Typography allows for words or letters to take on a “persona” and conveys emotion to the consumer.
