Why typography? The fundamentals of type actually all have a significant impact on graphic design. Things like form, contrast, scale, and texture can all be traced back to typographic principles.
Good design is not about making things look good; it’s about how the components of a system work together to relay information. Without an understanding of typography, these components are hard to grasp.
It’s more than just picking a pretty typeface; it’s the foundation of how we communicate to other human beings. And now, it’s time for you to master this essential area of design to create unique and impactful work.
