ok...... so for a while now I have been ragging my brain, trying to figure out what I could concentrate on for my essay and what my question could be. I now think I have a solid idea that I can progress with! (fingers crossed).
Whilst mulling about today I picked up a newspaper that was lying around and for some reason I began looking at the typography rather than the article (I know....I'm loosing it!). I realized that basically all i have been taught about the rules of typography throughout my degree and how to utilize them to improve work are somewhat disregarded when it comes to newspapers. Even magazines don't necessarily need to use them. I want to know why! As graphic designers we constantly see work and type on certain adverts, signs, menu's etc.. which are terrible. I personally think it's the same when looking at a newspaper. Below aren't the articles I was viewing, but they are great examples as to what I'm on about. I'm definitely going to look at this further!
