It was fascinating to watch that video demonstrating exactly how much effort goes into traditional type-setting. At first I was impatient with the beginning of the course – I wanted to jump right into InDesign immediately. But as I saw more of the manual processes involved, I was forced to observe the subtle intricacies that go into selecting typefaces and setting them to design words. I understood more of how letter shapes flow and what makes each typeface unique – which are things I took for granted in the past.
