I like the simplicity of the font with the one coloured word catching your eye as it makes the reader anxious to read what is written above and below.

I also like tike the simple pattern going through the text. It is simple but effective and creative.

Indesign

Indesign is software that has been created by Adobe systems and is used to produce professional design publishing.

The software can create magazines, posters, newspapers, brochures, flyers and books.

This software is widely used as the elements available in the software are outstanding.

Some of the elements include the user having complete control of how each page is created by interlinking pages and designs to create something new.

Indesign software also includes Illustrator, Bridge, Photoshop, Incopy, Acrobat and Flash and it even holds navigation and tools also.

Although the linking software including Illustrator and photo manipulation tools are not as efficient as other software that is available, Indesign is a very popular and widely used software especially with individuals like digital publishers and graphic designers etc..

Typography that I do not like

Source :

This piece of typography used above says; Think of us.

I do not like this piece of typography as it is too big and chunky to read properly. Although there is an approach involved in the writing to make it stand out it has exceedingly over stood this mark and is barely understandable.

Although there is colour and overlapping letters in this piece of typography it is admittedly artistic but just not my taste.

Something intriguing about this piece of typography is the use of shadow in the type. This also gives the type an artistic overlook.

Link where I found the typography that I liked!
 
I liked this typography as it is plain, simple writing but the effects make it special!  The typography is a realistic approach to what happens to our markings when water interferes with inc.

The type is not too large but still makes a dramatic statement to the human eye.

The type is smart and appropriate especially when being used in a design approach towards the public. It is a good font for advertising and for catching especially the younger eye.

As I previously mentioned it is a good size font but the letters are in capitals and in bold, which gives an even bigger emphasis on the type.
