Custom Type Tutorial

In this tutorial we had to follow a tutorial to make our name blend together. We will also be able to use this tutorial for our title on our movie posters that we are making. I used a custom font and what I did to make it my own was expand out the letters and then also changed the spacing between some of the letters. I also lined up the l and the h so it made it look like one long line and I thought it looked pretty cool too. 

My Top Ten List

In this project we created a "Top Tens" list based on what things we value the most. So what I chose are either my favorite things or things that I value a lot. In my list, I included Family, Michigan, My favorite restaurant, My favorite Movie, baseball, KU, The Royals, Money, My phone, and NetFlix.

Choosing the right fonts and typefaces was also an important part to this project because you want to get your point across about why you chose a certain object, and the rights fonts and sizes can help you get that point across. It also helps organize you poster better when you have the right fonts and sizes. I chose the fonts "PT Sans (Italic Bold), Open Sans Regular, and Minion Pro because I wanted a sophisticated looking poster.

What I learned from this project was that our values can tell a lot of things about ourselves, and typefaces can too. This was also the first time that I used InDesign and the first time I created a grid layout and made a poster to be printed.
