When all of these combined I make Super Text! Super text, he's our hero, gunnatake bad designs down to zero. He's got powers magnified and he's fighting on the designer's side!

Text plays an important role in a majority of designs. It is an item that can make, or break a logo. That's just my opinion, though. I think that is why I liked the Week 5 reading. This week's reading explored the ways in which text is presented and how the individual parts of the text can, when combined in the right way, make a design come to life. I liked the fact that on this website that the creator went into every detail about the text. As you can see from the diagrams below. These came from the website.

I think that the way the creator communicated the importance and went into detail about several important aspects of text was what made it easy to create the Doll House Flyer. Because of the detailed diagrams about kerning, tracking, line spacing, alignment, stacked type and hierarchy and the explanations on what was good text and bad text, I was able to create a design that communicates itself well without losing any of it's design appeal.
