Underwater Ticket Design

[crzykate58]

Hey guys!

This is my first post ^_^ but i just wanted to get your feedback on what you think about this ticket i made! Please ignore the info on there, it's just a filler for what it would look like with a title, web info, location, time and all that jazz.

Thanks everyone!! <3

You drew the squid?

I like the design but not a fan of the typography I undestand the theme but honestly I find it hard to read. But it works well if that makes sense. Over all I like it

if you highlight the text then go to window> Character and you will see a window like this pop up


Ok lets try and get this right

white equals font size

grey\silver equals letter\character spacing so the gap between each letter

yellow equals the font height note this is just the height not the size so you can stretch type

blue equals the space between lines of texts so currently the space indicated is that equal to if I was using a font size of 18

red equals the space between words

green stretches highlighted text or compresses it

itty bitty typo correction hoogle; a little switcheroo!

Ok Actually if you want to be correct

Red equals Tracking however you change this the highlighted or whole text field the spacing between characters\letters will always be the same regardless of font and script

However grey\silver equals Kerning
Kerning equals the space between 2 characters letters at a time So the spacing between the characters depend more on what the font is here is Wikipedias result

More info can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning



And here is the more accurate description of the character panel from Adobe

alrighty, so the measurements in the boxes are what you are suggesting i change the font characters to?

 

[Hoogle]

no They have no relevance to your image they just happen to be my current settings at that time.

Play with them and see what looks best

 

[crzykate58]

oh. haha! will do, thank you!

 

[crzykate58]

should i choose a different font for this? or do i just need to have better spacing?

 

[Hoogle]

I like the wobbly text it just needs to be clearer maybe a slight strok or something will seperate it

 

[crzykate58]

awesome! thank you so much for your help

 

[clarkenstein]

OK, point taken. Thank you for making it readable in 200 point type, lol.

From my use which has been a extensive over the years, this is how I have used it and I apologize for having it partly wrong. Never have used it to kearn within words, oddly enough.
