Typefaces

            Through this project I have learned quite a lot about typefaces. For this project we were assigned to follow an instructional video and create this name plate, labeling parts of the typefaces. It was somewhat confusing because I wasn't sure if some of the things were applicable to different letters, or lowercase, or even depended on the font. For example, the diagonal stroke was shown on an uppercase A, and I used it on a lowercase z and I wasn't sure what the exact standards were. 

          

            If I had to do this project again I think I would spend more time picking out a font. I would also spend a little more time with colors and just the over all neatness of this project. One thing I found difficult was my name. I don't have ay letters that hang below the base line, so quite a few of the terms were not usable for my name. Overall I really enjoyed this project and am looking forward to going further in depth about typefaces!
