1. Final(?) monogram refinements
2. Read pages 62-85 (before the paragraph exercises below) and review 34-47 in the Lupton type book
3. 57(!) paragraph explorations in InDesign. This is not as much as it sounds if you are careful and thorough. Keep your page setup the same as the previous exercises, using one document for all permutations. Choose one type size and leading from the first series to start, from 9-11pt, and create the following using just 1 of your 2 paragraphs. Label each one with the typeface size and leading and the treatment you have given it.
Set your paragraph 3 times to start (mouse over the alignment icons in the "Character" window, it'll tell you what's what):
- left-aligned
- centered
- justified with last line left-aligned
With each of the above as a starting point set the paragraph in following ways:
leading/linespacing (found in the "Character" window)
- increase leading incrementally by 1pt, 3 times
- decrease leading incrementally by 1pt, 3 times
- increase tracking incrementally by 30, 3 times
- decrease tracking incrementally by 30, 3 times
- increase word-spacing incrementally by 50%, 3 times
- decrease word-spacing incrementally by 20%, 3 times
Label each as you make it. An example of a correct label would look something like this:
Trade Gothic Regular, Justified
10pt/12pt
150% Word-spacing
or
Trade Gothic Regular, Centered
10pt/9pt
or
Trade Gothic Regular, Justified
10pt/12pt
-90 Tracking
