Type Specification



1. This assignment was done on paper first to practice distinguishing picas, points, inches, type size, font, style, type leading, alignment, and line length.

2. On the original paper we practiced all of these concepts, then went into InDesign and recreated the original worksheet using all of the correct leading, fonts, sizes, etc. that we had found.

3. On the last two, we did it backwards and typed in the information that was already given to us to see how it looked.

This assignment helped me determine the difference between picas and points, how to measure leading, measure font size, and determine line length. The only difficulty I had was trying to get the exact font sizes of each letter because some of them did not fit exactly to the ruler.
