Chapter 19 Reading Assignment

Just like the previous reading assignment, this week reading assignment talks even more specific with steps by steps instruction to use the type tool. First, I have learnt to use the outport ( [+] ) thing to make the text follow the complex shape that i have never known before. Also, i haven't used the type panel a lot but thanks to this reading, i found many interesting things that i can do with text to improve my project even more. This chapter really helps me a lot in term of typographic dynamics and consideration for my project. I'll make sure that i will make a good use of these awesome tools.

Through the reading and the training ai file. I feel more comfortable working in Illustrator because i haven't used illustrator a lot.

Thanks to this articles, I'm better in Illustrator now.
