Practice

 

As an introduction to the second DSDN 101 project we looked at letters and their shapes as well as the typographical practices of kerning and tracking which involves looking at  the spaces between letters.
The space between letters of a word can help to illustrate it differently, this is especially relevant to the next project: "One Word Film" where we will be animating one word to illustrate its meaning.
I also looked at inverted colours and negative space. Instead of always having a black font on a white background I tried having a white font on a black background; Not only does this make emphasize the letters (We are so used to passively reading black text on white), but it emphasizes the space between the letters, whether this is barely any space at all, some space, or a large stretch of space.
