Typography 101: Everything a Beginner Should Know. Like many of you, I am a trained marketer and a DIY designer.

I read The Marketer’s Crash Course in Visual Content Creation and learned some essential PowerPoint and Photoshop tricks, but I really wanted to take my design skills to the next level. So I asked all my designer friends what my next step should be, and every single one said to take a course on typography. So I decided signed up for a typography course at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I figured I'd learn how to identify a good font from a bad one. What I didn't realize was that starting out small and paying attention to the details makes all the difference in the world when you're laying out an email, ebook, or image for social media. Every little change you make to a word or a body of text can make a huge difference in the overall piece.

It is a question that has occupied mankind for centuries. Today, we live in an age of exploration, where robots on Mars and planet-hunting telescopes are beginning to allow us to edge closer to an answer. While we wait to establish contact, one technique we can use back on Earth is an equation that American astronomer Frank Drake formulated in the 1960s to calculate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations may exist in the Milky Way galaxy.

It is not a rigorous equation, offering a wide range of possible answers. Ideas, issues, knowledge, data - visualized! [Webデザイン] 文字組みについて本気出して考えてみた. これはもう何年も前から気になってることなのですが。

何故、昔からずっと見出し画像などの文字組みや文字詰めの甘いWebサイトが多いのでしょうか。 私はデザインについて偉そうに言える立場でないのは分かっていますが、折角全体的なデザインや背景、写真、Flashなどの動きはとても美しく、文章構成のしっかりしたサイトなのに、ただ一点文字詰めだけが甘いというサイトがあまりにも多くて、そういうサイトが減る様子もないのがずっと気になっています。 私は以前、ファッション雑誌やビジネス誌の組版（MacのInDesignやQuarkXPressを使って印刷用のデータを作る仕事。 DTPとも言う）の仕事をしていて、見出しは言うまでもなく、本文の文字詰めが少し甘いだけでもものすごく怒られたものですが、Webデザインの世界ではそういうのはあまり怒られることがないのでしょうか。

With 32,000 designers signed up on Visual.ly and a couple million people returning each month to explore and share infographics, the site has rapidly become the leading destination for infographics and data visualization. But while you’ve told us you’ve enjoyed seeing what we have to offer, we’ve also heard loud and clear that there were features we could improve on. For example, while thousands of designers have created their portfolios on Visual.ly, it wasn’t always easy to find a particular designer once you’d discovered them and keep track of his or her work. And, many of you wanted Visual.ly to provide a more personalized experience when exploring infographics and visualizations. Today, we are launching the world’s first social network for data visualization. It starts with improved profiles for our members, including aggregated metrics about the infographics you’ve shared.

This is the first step toward the launch of our marketplace later this year. TOP- DESIGNBEEP ARTICLES. Where 4 dimensional movies had made their appearance, going through one-dimensional content in a web page is simply boring.
