Reading about type response.

After I read all of the websites and a few of them are quite interesting, especially the lawyer one! When analyzing the questions given to answer I thought of quite an interesting response. What seems to be the most important thing to keep in mind when arranging type on a page or screen is actually something non-type related. Audience and or client. Before you even get to designing a page or layout you need to think about who is going to end up reading your document. Whether you design something playful, professional, contemporary, or something a little more laid back and friendly. These are all key things you must think about, much before you even touch that mouse for the first time!

Given what you’ve read, what seems to you most important — in general — to keep in mind while arranging type on a page or screen?

Given what you read, what are the 4-5 specific guidelines or suggestions that you will most try to apply as you work with type on page or screen?

Was there anything in the readings that surprised you? Anything that you think should have been in the readings but wasn’t?
