Typography in websites
This week we looked at the impact, options and limitations that are
available for text within your website.
As with imagery you will appreciate that the shape, form, style, colour,
weight and typeface all effect the mood and feel of the page. The obviously
needs to be in line with the overall objective of the website.
However, there are also other limitations such as readability, platform
limitations and download performance which may limit your choice.
Finally, we mentioned using external fonts in your page such as Google web
fonts.
In the class we constructed a website from the initial files incorporating
the aspects that we discussed in class. (Not to mention the dropdown menus.)
