TODAY I AM TALKING ABOUT
Typesetting Information Design
(AND OTHER STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE YOUR THESIS DOCUMENT)
![Page 5: How to make a beautiful thesis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051113/55cdedc4bb61eb6e3a8b4695/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

PORTRAIT OF STEVE JOBS, BY SUSAN KARE (DESIGNER OF THE ORIGINAL MAC ICONS) 1983
Traditions that still exist in digital typesetting

Which is why using Word for typsetting is like using this…

…to do this

and why typesetting your
thesis will take longer
than you think

Here are your specs:
International Standard Paper Size A4 (297 x 210mm)
1.5 spacing and presented in a clear and legible font and would normally be expected to be double-sided
Left and right margins of no less than 30mm and page numbers that appear inside the margins
Pages that are numbered consecutively and clearly
Folding diagrams or charts arranged so as to open to the top and right.

So you have somechoices to make

The typefaces we read best are the ones
we read the most

High contrast between thick and thin strokes is hard to read
![Page 21: How to make a beautiful thesis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051113/55cdedc4bb61eb6e3a8b4695/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Minimal contrast is easier to read

You can pair Serif and Sans Serif

You can pair the same kinds of typefaces
Just make sure they are not too similar(OR IT WILL LOOK LIKE A MISTAKE)
![Page 24: How to make a beautiful thesis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051113/55cdedc4bb61eb6e3a8b4695/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

me, the exemplar work displayed in that long ago hallway had a presence that was
almost palpable, and was often capable of triggering ‘the fear’: a heady mixture of
inspiration, envy, and anxiety.
This conversation made me wonder, how could I help my online design students
‘feel the fear’ without such a hallway? How can I (or indeed should I?) set the
conditions for ‘the fear’ to flourish in the digital hallways of the online school? It
was on this last thought that I found myself deeply conflicted. While acknowledg-
ing that my colleague was perhaps correct, fear is part of design teacher practice, I
found myself wondering if this was a good thing. I wondered too what it may mean
if online teaching is a less fear filled practice, and at the same time is (at least in my
experience) as effective as onsite teaching. Thus, I loosely framed my initial re-
search question as: ‘Is ‘the fear’ in fact necessary to good design teaching practice?’
Although I eventually set out to explore how the online design studio reshapes
graphic design teaching more broadly, this question still gives me pause. It is how-
ever, best left to research of a more cause-effect kind to take forward.

This thesis examines the design studio, common to all art and design disciplines,
and the focus of learning and teaching in design education (Schön, 1990). The
design studio is both a learning space and a unique pedagogical method (Broadfoot
& Bennett, 2003, p. 3) of learning-by-doing, which most scholars trace back to the
antecedents of the modern design school: the Beaux Arts and the Bauhaus (Bender
& Vredevoogd, 2006; Broadfoot & Bennett, 2003; Hetland, Winner, Veenema, &
Sheridan, 2007; Kelly, 2001).
Teaching in the design studio is intensely collaborative, and many scholars have
remarked that the engagement between teachers and learners is somewhat akin

Possible formula for thesis text with 7 heading levels:
Body Copy = 12pt all type sizes are based off this measure (in increments of 2 points)
Line Spacing 24pt = 1.5 spaced (32pt would be double-spaced) all spaces are based on this measure
Body copy set with no indents, instead uses 1/2 line space as space between (para space) in this case = 12pt*
Headings all use the same typeface (which may differ from body text typeface):
Section Head = 18pt (8 pts larger than body copy) usually set all caps, on a page by itself
Chapter Head = 16pt (4 pts larger than body copy) Bold, looks best with 3 to 5 para spaces below (so 36pt/60pt)
A Head (14pt) = set bold, 2 para spaces above, one para space below (24pt above/12 below)**
B Head (14pt) = set bold italic, 2 para spaces above, one para space below (24pt above/12 below)
C Head (12pt) = Set bold, 1.5 line space above, one para space below (18pt above/12pt below)
D Head (12pt) = Set regular, 1 para space above, 1 para below (12pt above and below)
E Head (12pt) = Set italic, 1 para space above, 1 para below (12pt above and below)
Footnotes and Page Numbers set in body text @ 8–10pt
* Paragraphs above headings should be set with no space below. **When one heading is above another, delete the space below the top heading.
