Description

Typography  for print can be intimidating to many designers, especially when you  focus on digital mostly. This is why I invited specialist Diana Varma to  share her knowledge of what to pay attention to when dealing with type  for print.  You will learn: ? The advantages of print over digital.
? The differences between readability and legibility.
? The right font sizes & smallest type size you can print (blew my mind).
? How to avoid beginners mistakes in prepress.
? How to best print gray text?
? Accessibility is also a topic that comes up quite a lot during this talk.
