Anatomy of Typography

The Project

We learned about typography and the different components of it. So the project was to point out 10 different elements in your name. Some of the things you could point out were serifs, stems, ascenders, finals, etc.

Technique

To start I typed out my name and chose a font with serifs. After that I made the baseline, x-height, and cap-height. Then I started labeling different parts of the text that had certain parts of typography. When I finished labeling I chose an arrow and used it to point out which words went with the parts.

How It Went

I think I did fairly well on this project. It wasn't too incredibly difficult even though lining things up was a challenge. Over all the project turned out really well.
