  2. Introduction to Typography in Adobe InDesign • Definition: Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written content legible, readable, and visually appealing. • Importance: In academic design projects, typography helps create a structured layout, improves comprehension, and adds professional polish. • Role in Assignments: Effective typography ensures your InDesign assignment looks clean, credible, and engaging to evaluators.

  3. Choosing the Right Fonts • Font Categories: Serif (e.g., Times New Roman) for formal projects; Sans-serif (e.g., Helvetica) for modern and clean looks. • Font Pairing: Use no more than two complementary fonts for consistency—one for headings and one for body text. • Tip: Stick to widely accepted academic fonts unless the assignment asks for creativity.

  4. Managing Font Sizes and Hierarchy • Hierarchy Defined: Font size should indicate the importance of text—titles should be largest, followed by subheadings and body text. • Academic Standards: Typically, 24–32pt for headings, 14–18pt for subheadings, and 10–12pt for body text. • Best Practice: Use consistent scaling throughout your document for professional appeal.

  5. Line Spacing and Alignment • Hierarchy Defined: Font size should indicate the importance of text—titles should be largest, followed by subheadings and body text. • Academic Standards: Typically, 24–32pt for headings, 14–18pt for subheadings, and 10–12pt for body text. • Best Practice: Use consistent scaling throughout your document for professional appeal.

  6. Color, Contrast, and Legibility • Color Usage: Stick to dark text on light backgrounds for academic work unless designing creative posters. • Contrast: Ensure strong contrast between text and background for accessibility. • Avoid: Using too many colors or decorative fonts that can distract from content clarity.

  7. Typography Mistakes to Avoid in Assignments • Overuse of Fonts: Using more than two fonts can confuse the layout. • Inconsistent Styles: Avoid switching font styles randomly; maintain consistency in headings, subheadings, and body. • Poor Readability: Avoid ultra-light fonts, tiny text, or crammed layouts that reduce legibility.
