Type specimen poster grid system4/20/2024 ![]() Rag is typically seen on the opposite side of a body of text to how its aligned so for example a piece of text that is left aligned will had the rag on the right hand side. Something that i have never really considered is rag. I soon realised the importance of specific type setting for different publications, for example a poem would typically be centre aligned a newspaper fully justified and a book left aligned. Throughout the talk it soon became apparent to me the importance of considering how type is set on a page. It was something that i never really put any thought into when placing type on a page. I’d never really considered the importance of how type was set on a page until this day. I really like how this turned out as I feel that it shows off the font really well due to its simplicity and by showing the font in various different ways through out the poster.
