Typography II: Science and Design Support

Building on her first article on typography basics, this week Linda is going to show us how our eyes respond to web pages, and then look at how the five historic font families previously discussed can shape a website design.

Linda takes each of the design elements in turn (line, volume etc.) and shows how typeface can be understood and appreciated, when looked at in the context of each of these categories.

Filled with tips to help you consider the layout of text-heavy sections, once again Linda helps us to think more carefully about a subject we might sometimes take for granted.

Linda Goin

Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.

Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
