Typography Module - Learning the Mechanics

Today in the computer session with Pete we learned about Tracking and Kerning using InDesign.


It made me realise that every single piece of type needs tracking and kerning in order to improve them and make them stand out from other designer's typography. Being able to use the techniques means design can be made individual even if the font used is a regular everyday font.
