Days #29 and #30: Crawling Through Typography

[justaddgigi]

So I’ve been trying to readjust my schedule back to days (being sick basically threw my routine way out of wack), so I’m still tired all the time.  Also, I just want to sort download everything about typography, and after I’ve started reading this book I’ve been paying closer attention to text in my designs.  Kerning, has especially been a bitch for me. I’ve been fretting about what Kerning is right for each title and paragraph’s.  I also want to learn about layout, but typography is too important to just skip around.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve been reading only a few pages a day, because I want to process and absorb everything I can .  I have also been branching out into doing full jackets. This right here is the second full jacket I have done. I’ve been trying to do PSD mockups of real books but I haven’t had any luck with that as well.

Honestly, I’ve been too busy lately (and tired) to update this blog, but I promise to try not to do that again.
