Typography Design

Good/Poor Design: The NYC subway map is an example of good design because it is neatly organized and easy to understand. The only problem with its design is that in the actual subway cars, the print is very small and hard to read, I always notice people having to lean in over someone's head in order to read it.

Good Design:

Nice use of unusual font.

I love these ads for Dunkin Donuts 99 cent lattes because the chunky, chocolate-colored font reminds me of a nice warm latte. It is a good use of design in order to generate a certain emotion, which is something we talked about during class.

Poor designs:

This garbage can is confusing and I don't understand the labeling.

This is an example of poor design because from afar the font is difficult to read, my sister mentioned that it took her a while to realize it said, "colorize."

This is also hard to read from afar, the light color of the font makes it almost invisible.
The font on this vending cart is also hard to read against the image.
