Type Choice - Digital

Objective
To research a range of type choices available for your artefact.

Task
Using Dafont (or other free online type libraries), gather together a range of typefaces that could be used as part of your artefact. 

Go for obvious and the not so obvious to give you something to talk about when analysing their suitability.

Evaluate the suitability of the examples that you have gathered. Read THESE TYPE TERMS  and search THIS SITE and include as many as you can. Speaking the language will help you communicate better and score more marks.


For extra points, place your type choices on a draft of your piece and evaluate them in place.  Try maybe six?
