Great information, overall beautiful presentation. There a few issues: the flowers are illustrative and as we have discussed in class cannot be used for this project. I think you can simply drop them, at least for this project. The example for “Glyph” is confusing because is identifies first as a swash capital. The K looks more like you are illustrating a drop shadow rather than kerning which is the space between letters of a word; it addresses readability and balance. Leading is from one baseline to the next, and is not the depth of a given letter. I think Q for quotation could include the marks as well as the Q. Ditto with Rasterize. For Tracking, same comment as Kerning. I would include a thinner or heavier version of your typeface display to illustrate Weight. The x-height illustration (arrows) should not drop below baseline. The italic swash in the typeface you are using is beautiful but doesn’t illustration the definition.
The over-all cards are very pretty! However there are some visuals for the definitions that confuse me or I think could be done better. For the "I" in italic perhaps you could have instead added the original letter and then had a low opacity set on a duplicate that went behind it, kind of like what you did for the tracking. For neck, I understand why you added the "g" however the inclusion of two letters seems kind of confusing when he rest of the cards focus on just one letter. I would try to figure out how to integrate the definition into the "n" instead.

ReplyDeleteYou could also replace the flowers with elements of the typeface arranged in a flower-like fashion.
