WHAT DO YOU THINK TYPOGRAPHY IS?
Anyone have an idea?
WHAT IS TYPOGRAPHY?Typography is the art and technique of arranging letters
to make written language readable and appealing
when displayed. It involves selecting typefaces, letter
-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space within letters pair
s (
kerning[). In
modern times, typography has been put in film, television, and
online broadcasts to add emotion to communication
.
Typography is the work of:typesetters,
compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors,
manga artists, comic book artists, graffiti artists,
clerical workers, and everyone else who arranges graphics for a
product. Until the
Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation .
WHAT IS CALLIGRAPHY?
Raise your hand if you
have a hypothesis.
CALLIGRAPHY IS….A visual art related to writing. It is the design of
lettering with a broad tip instrument, dip pen, or
brush , among other writing instruments. A contemparary
calligraphic practice can be defined as, "
the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and s
killful
manner”.
Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to
fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be legible (what does
that mean?). Classical calligraphy differs from :typography
and non-classical hand-lettering, though a calligrapher
may practice both.
Calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of :
wedding and event invitations, font design and
typography, original hand-lettered logo design,
religious art, announcements,
graphic design and commissioned calligraphic art,
cut stone
inscriptions, and memorial
documents. It is also used for
props and moving images for film and television,
testimonials, birth and death certificates, maps,
and other written works.
