Recently, I have been very interested in creative illustrative posters, mainly movie posters shown in a new and imaginative way.

A while ago I wrote a piece on typography, it was an overview on all aspects of type but afterwards I thought about writing a more focused piece on specific areas.

Part two I wanted to focus a little on fonts used for the web. Many people have tackled this subject in length but I wanted to share a few short, simple lessons I have learned.

OK time for a confession, when I first started out designing I never liked type, yes I know, I admit it. I never understood why designers could talk for hours and hours about a nice typeface. I Thought even the most hardened Star Trek fan looks down on a ‘font geeks’. I’m glad to say that now, that has changed, and for good reason. It is now one of my favourite subjects, but shared by few.
