Extended Techniques - Typography Week Two

In week two we were focusing on layouts, and how to layout a page with Columns to keep people interested and things easy to read, this was really interesting to me because print is something i am very interested in going into and will give me good ideas for my layouts in the future, one of the main things to remember with these kind of things is you can go away from the column structure and not to be limited by it.

Columns - It can range from a two column page to anything up to 7-8, the line spacing between them shortening with each added column.

Homework - We were asked this week to create some creative layouts which go well with our previous week one work. So i had to create a page layout for my light type work, at first i was a bit stuck not really figuring out a decent acceptable layout, took me quite a few goes to get them working with my uneven type style.

How it will help my Play Brief - I think this layout work is going to greatly improve my design theory when approaching my flash game, it will defiantly make me think more about the weighting of each of the elements as i keep the natural readability.

i am actually looking forward to working out the design properly.
