Project Educate: Typography TerminologyTypography Terminology
This article is here to highlight some of the most important terms when it comes to working with Typography. The terminology in this article is very basic, but it's not only for beginners! Knowing the proper terms for whatever you do avoids confusion and makes it easier for people to be on the same line of thought.
Please note: these terms all refer to the technical work with Typography. They do not cover the Anatomy of Typefaces (f.e. baseline, x-height or serif) or stylistic elements used in Typography (f.e. page layout or white space).
Typeface
A Typeface is the compilation of a set of characters, which share a certain appearance. There are stylistic elements to each Typeface that also find relation to their classification.
While a Font traditionally only describes a set o

Project Educate feat. Negative SpaceProject Educate feat. Negative Space
This feature of Typography showcases works that play with negative spac. This recurring theme in both Art and Design, challenges our mind in sometimes such a subtle manner that it is simply amazing. Using negative space for words while keeping the text readable is a trick that shows us how our minds are capable of so much more.

Thank you for reading!

So, Here Are Some Tips To Help You Improve Your Text Art
Take your time!
Really, dont rush any artwork you are doing. Especially in Text Art it is easy to just add a line of text to a canvas and you think you're done. This is not the case. Try different things, experiment with colors, with font sizes, textures, canvas sizes, kerning and and and. Just don't be done in 5 min.
Don't let the Font do the Artwork for you!
While Grunge Fonts like Bleeding Cowboy or Typewriter From Hell look interesting and exciting, you really shouldn't use them for your artworks. They are mainly just easy and lazy to use. You can achieve way better resu

Text Art Feature: CMYK

For the love of CMYK

As a Designer or Artist you have to work with CMYK or RGB and should know what they are. I want to feature artworks build upon those principles.

What is CMYK?

CMYK is the color model used in printing. It is also called process color or four color print. The name stands fo the 4 colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and (key) black.
Colors are created by adding amounts of color to one another. For example mixing 100% cyan with 100% yellow makes green. Just like back in the days when you were still using your Tuschkasten to make paintings

Whenever you know that your work will be printed, be sure to work in CMYK from the start. Converting colors from RGB to CMYK can cause the colors to look dull.

Please read about the CMYK color model on wikipedia.com to learn more ^^

So, here we go with the feature of Text Art dedicated to CMYK.
