Type

The most recent session was about readability of body copy and how it can be manipulated across different amounts of columns, was really helpful and again, will contribute to the publication. (Which is beginning to demand some mindset put upon it.)

A limitation would have to be how you use the leading as something too spaced out can affect the tone of voice of the copy, also tight leading can have an adverse effect - but this all depends on what it is the reader is looking at. E.g, a short informal paragraph has different limitations to a longer more formal paragraph.

Instead of putting up screenshots up here, i'm printing out all the session work and im going to label it and attach notes for hand in. I think this will show a more coherant understanding of this than a blog entry can.

That's another thing graham has been teaching: Hard copy is invaluable when it comes to type!
