Continuing on in this series about designing with type using CorelDraw, I thought I’d move the focus from readability and awareness of space as a design element to broader design issues surrounding type. The most obvious design issue, and unfortunately the one most folks never get too far beyond, is choosing fonts. Fonts are installed on computers, and every computer has some fonts installed, which almost any program on that computer with a word-processing or text function has access to. This is something that each of us is able to manage, meaning we can take some of those fonts out of our computer and put other ones in. Today, computers are capable of storing great numbers of fonts. In my next article, I will discuss the process of installing and uninstalling fonts.
