Things to Know About Typography Part Two

Elements of Typography (Cont.)

White space 

This is the space across your graphics and text. Users don't notice it and they tend to overlook it, but efficient use of a white space prevents cluttering and makes the text readable. You can use white space to get attention and text and offer some pleasing experience. White space are like padding, margins or areas without graphics or text. 

Alignment 

Alignment has to do with composing images, graphics and text and unifying them. This is to make the distances, size and space between each element is equal. A lot of UI designers make margins to make sure their body of the text, header and logo are in alignment. When you align the user interface, stick with industry standards. Example it is counterintuitive to align text towards the right for those who read from left to right. 

Colour 

Colour is among the elements of typography. Here designers can be creative and put their interface to another level. Do not ignore the colour of your text. Nail the font colour to make it stand out and transfer the message's tone. There are 3 components of colour: saturation, hue and value. A nice design balances the 3 components to make them legible and eye-catching. Designers can make tweak for text too light or dark on the background colour. 

Hierarchy 

Hierarchy is among the vital parts of typography. Hierarchy differentiates between a copy to read first and notice and a standard text copy. Designs can make typefaces and be concise to let consumers consume the relevant information in a short time. You can use alignment, contrast, colour and sizing to create hierarchy. The best example of hierarchy in typography is size. This stipulates that standard text and subheadings should often be smaller than headings.
