Typesetting for the Web
by Zeke Franco
Zeke will cover the fundamentals of the art of typography and then will cover some ways to implement beautiful typography on your WordPress blog.
Typography is important because presentation is important. Good typography can reinforce the meaning of your text, can help move your reader beyond your words deeper into your meaning. Your site visitors need to be able to understand the message you're communicating - if your text is too small, too large, or cramped together, your visitors will have difficulty reading.
Typography on the web has mostly been confined to a small set of web-safe fonts, but now that has changed. Learn to take advantage of all the latest technologies and take your site to the next level.
Zeke is an interaction designer and Front End Developer. He specializes in UX desgin, semantic HTML, CSS, jQuery, and web strategy. Basically - he designs, simplifies, and builds the user interfaces of web sites.
Zeke's presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
A $5 fee/person helps to cover the costs of the venue rental, food and drink. If you're paying cash the evening of the event, exact change is much appreciated. Make checks payable to Purple Pen Productions.
Can you please confirm the ending time? I am going to attempt to race over from another meeting to catch the end of this. I believe SM Library has a 9PM limit?
Apologies for the comment overload. Ray Gordon and I will be there on time after all. See you soon!
We ran a little short on time. If anyone had any questions that I wasn't able to get to please let me know. You tweet me @quasarkitten or email me: quasarkitten@gmail.com. I know a few of you wanted me to take a glance at your site. Feel free to send me a link with a specific question.
