Typesetting/Study Task 8

Design Principles 

Typesetting

Grids are used in book cover deign and ideas, this create organised and intellectual elegance in the design, this fits with modernist principles. Modernist approach to typesetting is mostly associated with left aligned type, this is because we read from the left and also because it its better for the eye to do to the next text. this created a text that is easier to read, it makes it easier not he eye because it knows where to go and can be used for a lager paragraph because of this as it makes it less stressful for the read. For type always set 8 on 9, 9 on 10 and so on, this give the ye a larger break and spaces out the lines more causing a more balanced space that allowed the reader to focus on each separate word more clearly when reading. Legibility  and communication are different, don't confuse them, they can and are used for different thing. Use this idea to enhance the style of the work, express and explore the idea that what you are communication is more than just type, add details and different aspect to inform your design and improve the communication. 

TASK

The Mouse's Tale
by Lewis Carroll

"Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. "It is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:—
Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, 
“Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you.”
Come, I'll take no denial,
We must have a trial,
For really this morning I've nothing to do.
Said the mouse to the cur, 
“Such a trial, dear sir, 

With no jury or judge, 
would be wasting our breath.”
“I’ll be judge, I'll be jury” 
Said cunning old Fury; 
“I’ll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death."

post modern idea - 

this text is based around the shape of a converstation on a iphone/text, this is the shaped used and recreated for this poem to make it clear who is speaking when and what they are saying.
