The Editorial Process

Image & Text

We had to produce 4 text / image combinations. These were a list of 

different phrases and photographs that we were able to pick out of. However, 

the last 2 photographs had to be taken by us. Each time we had to use a different

Postcard - InDesign

We were asked to create a postcard in our InDesign work shop. 

This is my final design, with some personal photograph that I have taken myself

then edited to fit a postcard style. 

10 Bad Examples of Letter Spacing

Bad Letter Spacing

As the letters within this sign are mainly long and thin. The 'O's seem too large to the 

other letters, creating an big spacing within the letters 'O's,

The WG are too close together. There needs to be more spacing between the two. 

There is a small gap between the 'g' and 'n', however missing in between the other 

letters. This creates the belief that it is an typo than to an design. 

Superdrugs. The fonts and sizing make it hard to read. However

over the years, the name has become historical, due to the style. So,

easy to pin point it on the high street.

The word cakes seem's to be too far up within the circle than to the bottom 

half of the sign. The spacing has not been fully thought through. 

The style of font of this sign should be all joined up together, though

the letters have not been joined. The spacing should be more closer together.

The 'o' is too far flat rounded to the other lettering. The space that the 'o' creates 

spoils the rest of the characters. 

There is far too much spacing within this word. 

The last lettering of the word changes the overall look of this. 

'Open' - 'Opew'

I really dislike when different fonts are used wrongly. 

It looks really bad, either use the same font or pick one that looks good

without mix and matching.
