Before starting the Pub Design program I knew nothing about Typography. I am now aware of the difference between serifs and san serifs but I still struggle with knowing the right Type to choose for a project. I love script fonts but I know they don't work for everything. In Type 2 we have 3 projects to use Type as Narrative, Type as Information and Type as Identity so my questions to you are:
How do you know how to choose the correct type to convey the feeling or message you are trying to get across?
If you are inspired by a piece that uses a type that you love, how do you find the name of the type if they don't provide it?
Where do you find type for your projects, besides the lab?
SmashingMagazine.com has wonderful resources and tips but I found these two articles/post fitting for this discussion, How to Choose a Typeface and What Font Should I Use?
Designing Badges is a must read.
Please share any additional blogs, websites or articles that you find useful.
