What does the term type face mean?
A specific size and style of type within a type family
Give an example of a light weight font and a heavy font that you have on your system (not from the website.)
Allfrowner Script is a heavy font
Partartail is a light font
What is the difference between a font and a type family. Give an example.
Arial is a font family. Arial Bold 14 point is a type font. Helvetica is a font family. Helvetica Ultra Compressed 26 point is a type font. Font family is a family of fonts. Times and Helvetica are font families. (Arial fonts are in the Helvetica family, TNR is in the Times family.)
Write one paragraph about Johann Gutenburg and his contribution to the printed word.
Johann Gutenburg was the first European to use movable type printing. He also invented the printing press. Some of his specific contributions to print are mass producing movable type, use of oil based ink, and the use of a wooden printing press. His method for creating type was traditionally considered to include a type metal alloy and a hand mould for casting. His work was a more complex process that spread over to many different locations across the world.
Why is a 'modern' typeface not an appropriate font for the web?
The think part of the modern typeface font seems to make the lighter part almost disappear, Modern typefaces are not good for web or large bodies of text in print.
Why is Baskerville considered a readable typeface?
This font is very wide for its x height and is closely fitted, and they are very well proportioned. It is considered one of the most pleasant and readable typefaces.
Also changing the modes between mid tones, and shadows currently can work wonders and almost every image I have ever seen. Also using hue and desaturation to fix the color hair and the teeth was a great little trick that I was not aware of until after I completed this lesson. Even though I have completed the tutorials, I feel like I still need much more practice before being able to edit and restore an image on my own, and correctly.
I chose to do my mid term about a person who I admired as a child. My parents read to me a book about Louis Pasteur and his first test of his vaccine for rabies as a child quite often as a bed time story. I always thought after hearing that book that Louis Pasteur was a hero in medicine, even after no one believed in him and all of his experiments. He believed in himself, and it paid off in the end, and I always admired that about this story I was read. Although what I was read as a child was only a children’s book, and I am looking forward to doing some research on Louis Pasteur and learning about all of his accomplishments.
Louis Pasteur was a French biologist and chemist who made many discoveries including the vaccine for rabies and he also discovered the process of pasteurization, which we still use this his pasteurization for our milk to this day. His first rabies vaccine was first tested on a nine year old boy named Joseph Meister in July of 1885. The boy was bitten by a rabid dog, and was treated with a vaccine that Pasteur had grown in rabbits, and tested earlier on dogs. The vaccine was successful on Joseph and he grew up to become a caretaker and worked for Louis Pasteur.
In my collage I am hoping to create the image of dreams, and that they can come true if you believe in yourself, the same image that I saw and felt always after reading that book as a kid. Louis Pasteur earned his title of a famous and admired scientist by all whose methods we still use today. That is a great accomplishment, and we can all accomplish great things also. That is the image I am hoping that anyone who sees my collage will walk away with.
