Typesetting

In today's session we have been looking at typesetting, both in a modernist and postmodernist style.

Above is the text of The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll. We have been asked to reset the type in different formats and styles.

           3 Column Grid

Modernist layout

Here I have set the type using a 3 column grid. I have aligned half the text on the right hand side of the third column and the other half on the left. I then changed the typeface to Helvetica.

Postmodernist Layout

I haven't used a grid with this one, typical of postmodernist design. I have designed the text in the shape of a mouse hole. The text is centre aligned and justified below with larger text.
