Week 7 websites

This week's websites are all about typography. Typography is really interesting and allows web designers to employ a lot of creativity and lets them play with something that otherwise could be boring or not noticeable.

Website 1: http://ilovetypography.com
This site has everything you'd want to know about typography, including discussions about popular fonts, articles about font trends, and instructions.

Website 2: http://ilovetypography.com/2007/09/19/15-excellent-examples-of-web-typography/

Same site, but focuses on examples of good typography. Particularly interesting on this site is that it shows great examples which illustrate not only great typography, but ways in which this is employed. For example, one of the sites is a professor's, another is a professional illustrators. Depending on the creativity of your field, your website topography should reflect it.

This site is a lot like the museum of fonts (website 5) because it offers a lot of history of fonts and background information. Who would have thought there was such a font following? I like the gallery of fonts featured on this site.

Ahh...the challenges of CSS! This presents CSS and typography, which is an issue that web designers face. This site shows how even when utilizing CSS, web designers can have some control over their sites. Typography is one of these ways.
