Typography
In the third installment of Before and After, I had the task to add better type and font to a previous design. I picked the "10 skills you need for visual note-taking" image since the fonts were difficult to read overall and there was not any text consistency in this image.
The after image of this assignment is an improvement overall for several reasons. First, I kept the prior check boxes in the original box but I made these images into consistent objects. Next, instead of keeping the dull white interface of the prior image, I utilized the pattern overlay feature as notebook paper. I enlarged the overlay to look like if an instructor was writing down these points. Third, I counted the number of skills and found it was actually nine skills, and that correction is seen on the title in the after-image. Fourth, a symmetrical effect was created with three columns with the nine skills to make the information easier to read for the learner. Fifth, the font I chose for this piece was "MS Sans Serif" since this font is easier to recognize on a print screen. Finally, Italic effects were add for all nine skills so the learner distinguish the nine important skills.
