Visual language; type and layout.



For the first session we had to work out a grid from a newspaper/magazine because each has a different system. We also looked at how to work out Pica's and the point size of a font so that eventually we'd be able to look at a page and guess near enough. 

As a homework task we chose an article from a magazine and created our own grid for it so that we could then move the elements of the article around to design our own layouts. 





We then chose our favourite layout we had created and made it larger with font choices etc so that it could be sent to print if it were a real article.
