Type For the Web

11Feb08

When creating typography for your webpage, you want something that is creative, clean, and doesn’t take away from the overall design of your website. Now that websites are becoming more dynamic, the designs of websites have become more complex and creative. Experimenting with type was usually saved for printing, but websites are becoming more successful in creating type as image and allowing it to work with the website rather then against it. Being able to create a typographical treatment that doesn’t take away from the overall design of a website is key. Some treatments that seem to work well on the web are clean and simple type, cropped, alterations to the type, kerning, and color. Creating type for the web has become very similar to print. So designers shouldn’t feel constricted to the same old boring type treatment.
